Fundamental changes to lease accounting

The new standard requires companies to bring most leases on-balance sheet, which could have a significant impact on financial KPIs and systems and processes. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption will be permitted, provided the company has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The HKICPA issued HKFRS 16, which is a word-to-word copy of IFRS 16.
