| A finance lease usually involves the lessee (user of the asset) paying - over the life of the lease - the full cost of the asset plus a return on the finance effectively provided by the lessor. | | A broad term, normally including the markets for eurobonds, eurocurrency, foreign bonds and similar capital instruments. |
|
| |
| The lessee-user effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
| |
| However, the lessee does not obtain legal title to the leased asset.
| |
| | |
| Accounting standards require finance leases to be accounted for 'on balance sheet' by the user of the asset.
| |
| | |
| This means that the liability to pay (the capital element of) the future lease instalments is recognised and disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Relevant accounting standards include [[IAS 17]], Section 20 of [[FRS 102]] which incorporates practice from the former [[SSAP 21]] for some domestic UK reporting, and IFRS 16.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Finance leases are also known as ''capital leases'', especially in the US.
