Lease Accounting Overview (the new lease rule)

This video provides an overview of lease accounting based on the new accounting rule per U.S. GAAP (ASU 2016-02). Under the new rule, all leases longer than one year must be capitalized. This means the lessee recognizes the property being leased as an asset, along with a corresponding liability for the lease payments. This is important, as many firms avoided recognizing billions of dollars in liabilities under the old lease accounting rules by structuring their leases to avoid capitalization.
Even though all leases longer than one year must now be capitalized, both lessors and lessees must perform five different tests to determine what type of lease they have (lessees classify a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, whereas lessors classify a lease as a sales-type lease or an operating lease).-

Professor Michael, I wish you were my teacher for Intermediate Accounting 2! My teacher just literally reads of the PowerPoint and offers absolutely no explanation of anything! Thank you so much for all this!

[@Edspira]

Thank you for your support my friend. Your teacher sounds awful, so I'm glad we are able to connect! Hang in there 😀

I have been watching your videos since I was a highschool student. Next month, I will be taking the CPA licensure exam and I still find myself coming back to your videos. Can't believe it has been 9 years. Thank you so much for all your help.

[@allyu2305]

I am so discouraged while trying to study for my first attempt at FAR - your videos not only helped me make it through all my college accounting courses but once again are coming in handy for the cpa - I cannot thank you enough!!!!

[@jubileet1337]

Thanks for this video. appreciate how you break things down step by step and provide 'a larger picture perspective' that make these concepts make sense. your lessons are also very easy to follow because you explain all the steps and the logical reasons why these accounting/tax rules exist, and anticipate the many questions your audience may have.

[@Edspira]

Thank you for this comment Michelle. Lease accounting can be very complicated, so I'm glad you were able to benefit from watching this video. Best of luck to you in your studies!

[@chrisjartineo]

Thank you very much for all your videos. In WGU every student talks about your videos as a lifesaver.

[@cloydreyes1570]

if you're looking for IFRS 16- based lease accounting, then this approach that he used might be quite different in terms of lessee accounting because he based it on FASB accounting standards.
