Part 2
Many companies use leases to acquire higher priced assets. Leasing is an important activity for many entities. Presently some leases are capitalized, and some are treated as operating leases. Opponents of this method criticize the accounting treatment because the present models do not meet the needs of users of financial statements; they do not always provide a faithful representation of leasing transactions. One reason is that operating leases are not capitalized. The International Accounting Board has issued a Proposed Accounting Standards Update (Revised) (Links to an external site.) (Topic 842) which proposes significate changes to lease accounting.
