This assignment delves into the complexities of lease accounting under new international accounting standards (AASB & FASB). It examines the changes introduced to recognition, measurement, and disclosure of leases, focusing on their implications for financial statements transparency and decision-making. The analysis draws upon relevant literature, accounting pronouncements (AASB 136 & AASB 139), and a real-world example from Perpetual Limited's annual report. Students are expected to critically evaluate the impact of these new standards on various stakeholders.
