Lease Accounting: 6 Things You Need to Know
, from the October 2012 Equipment Leasing & Finance magazine.

Key Lessee and Lessor Decisions Made in the Leases Project
June 11, 2012
- Eliminating leveraged lease accounting rules would be contrary to historical precedent and bad for the U.S. economy, write Bill Bosco, Michael Cross, David DeBoskey and Ted Jenkins in the article
"Leveraged Leasing Reaches Crossroads"
in the June 2012 issue of Practical Tax Strategist.
May 29, 2012 - The FASB and IASB held a non-decision educational meeting last week to discuss alternatives to lessee and lessor accounting after having conducted a series of additional outreach meetings to get feedback on the options. The good news is they dropped Approaches B and C as the feedback said they were too complex. The other good news is the two Chairs seem to agree that there is more than one type of lease so they are open to a straight line P&L method for the former operating leases. The bad news is that there is still not majority support for D (straight line). Our coalition planned to meet with Chairman Seidman on June 4, and the boards plan for a vote later in June.

- The Leases Working Group, an advisory body to the IASB and FASB, expressed support for a number of alternatives being considered by the Boards, which are designed to allow lessees to keep a level expense profile as is currently the case with existing operating leases. In May 2011, the Boards proposed that lessee accounting should include a front-loaded expense profile, which has been the subject of much debate.
