AASB 16 Guidance

The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) develops, issues and maintains Australian Accounting Standards, including Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The guidance below is for general information only. Please refer to the AASB 16 Leases standard for definitive accounting treatments.

For links to the help pages for other industries and general information about the EAS, please see this page.
