Why should you attend?

Until January 1st, 2019, leases were reported differently by both the lessor and the lessee, depending on whether it was considered an operating or a financial lease. This often meant that significant amounts remained off-balance sheet and were adjusted by rating agencies on the basis of multiples.
IFRS 16 significantly modifies the way leases are reported by the lessee starting 2019. This training allows to understand how to apply IFRS 16.
