31/01/2023 - EFRAG'S Endorsement Advice on Amendments to IFRS 16
EFRAG has completed its due process regarding Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16) and has submitted its Endorsement Advice Letter to the European Commission.
The Endorsement Advice Letter to the European Commission can be found here.
On 22 September 2022, the IASB issued Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16) (‘the Amendments’) which was initially issued as an Exposure Draft ED/2020/4 in November 2020.
The objective of the Amendments is to specify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to be accounted for as a sale. The Amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, with earlier application permitted.
EFRAG has submitted its Endorsement Advice relating to the Amendments for use in the European Union and European Economic Area. EFRAG assesses that the Amendments meet the technical endorsement criteria of the IAS Regulation and is conducive to the European public good. EFRAG therefore recommends its endorsement. EFRAG's recommendation can be found in the letter to the European Commission and the accompanying appendices.
The Endorsement Advice Letter to the European Commission can be found here.
EFRAG has also updated its Endorsement Status Report, which can be downloaded here on EFRAG's web page.
