Case 2
Scenario
The company leased a high-value asset for a period of three years. The Managing Director has asked the Financial Controller to classify the lease as a short-term lease. He told the Financial Controller, “I did accounts, and I know you will want to record this liability as a long-term liability. That would push the company’s gearing above 60%. Just wait until next financial year, when several long-term loans will have been repaid. Do not let me down now—just find a way to make it work, and I will reward you.”
