Lessee Contract Posting Steps:
The postings for IFRS 16 usually follow the same pattern, whether it is an office rental, a car lease, or something else.

Point in time |
1 |
Initial Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability |
The value of the initial Right of Use Asset is the 'present
value' of all lease payments during the contract term. A lease payment is a
payment that is directly related with the transfer of the leased asset.
Payments that are related to other components like services are not
classified as lease payments. |

Decrease of the Lease Liability |
The Lease Liability gets decreased based on the payments during
the contract term. Value and point in time are based on the payment itself
without considering potential accruals. |
Lease Liability to Cash / Lease Expense |
Per Payment |
3 |
Interest Expense Posting |
The difference between the sum of all payments and the present
value (the initial Lease Liability/Right of Use Asset) is the Interest
Expense. The Interest Expense is increasing the Lease Liability each month. |
Interest Expense to Lease Liability |
Per Period |
4 |
Right of Use Asset Depreciation |
The Right of Use Asset is getting depreciated linearly in most
cases. Every month has the same depreciation as long as there is no contract
modification. |
