A main requirement in financial statements is to faithfully present the information about their elements. This also applies to financial information regarding a lease. After the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases and its entry into force on January 1, 2019, it is of paramount importance to know and apply its requirements. The changes in this Standard primarily concern the reporting of lease agreements and their presentation in the lessee’s financial statements.
The research objective is to present the main points when applying the IFRS 16 Leases in the lessee’s statements. To achieve the objective the following tasks have been set in the study: Clarifying the need for a new lease accounting standard, outlining the purpose and scope of the standard, establishing the right to lease agreement and distinguishing it from services, and its accounting and presentation in the lessee’s financial statements.
Studying and clarifying the main points of IFRS 16 Leases is related to the assumption that knowing them well is a prerequisite for their proper accounting and presentation in the financial statements and hence raising their credibility.
The results achieved in the course of the study are mainly of a practical nature and can be used when applying this new accounting standard in Bulgarian accounting practice.
