What is new in accounting for leases: a change worth $2.2 trillion!

​EFRAG, EFFAS and ABAF/BVFA invite you to participate in a joint user event on Leases in the morning of Tuesday 5 July in the EFRAG offices.

​The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS) and the Association Belge des Analystes Financiers (ABAF/BVFA) invite you to participate in a joint user event on IFRS 16 Leases. The event informs users about the main differences between the new standard IFRS 16 Leases and the existing standard IAS 17 Leases and seeks user views on a series of topical issues. We will be feeding these views into EFRAG's endorsement advice. We are keen to know how users will use the new numbers in the financial statements and what users think the reaction to the new standard will be: will companies change their leasing behaviour?

The event is primarily directed at investors and analysts. However, should you be interested in attending as a 'non-user', please feel free to contact us as we have a limited number of extra seats. There is no charge for the participation and the language of the event will be English.
