Implementing IFRS 9: a guide for lessors

Read more


IFRS 9 brings together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting sections of the IASB’s project. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, it replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9.

Although the new accounting standard will have a greater effect on financial entities, it will have a significant impact on lessors, particularly in the following areas:

  • Classification and measurement
  • Impairment of financial assets
  • Hedge accounting
  • Debt modification clarification

The impact of adopting IFRS 9 should not be underestimated, and we have created this practical guide to inform lessors as they transition to the new standard.
