1 CPE This program provides a basic understanding of the new lease accounting 101 rules pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (ASC 842 lease accounting 101) issued in February 2016. It provides instructions on accounting and financial reporting for lease agreements that fulfil the standard's definition of a lease. ASC 842 makes substantial changes to the lease accounting 101 primarily for the Lessee. A lease conveys the right to the Lessee to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration to the Lessor. For the Lessee, leases are either Finance leases or Operating leases.
The Lessee will record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than one year. A Finance lease must meet one of five requirements, four of which are similar to prior capital lease accounting. If a lease is not a Finance lease, it’s an operating lease. Most leases of equipment will be Finance leases and space leases will be Operating leases. For the Lessor, a lease is either an Operating lease, Direct Financing lease, or Sales-Type lease. In general, the accounting for the Lessor has not changed substantially from the prior rules. Accounting for leases from both the Lessee and Lessors perspective will be analyzed as well as lease straight-lining, advantages, and disadvantages of leasing, financial statement disclosure, and the financial impact of the new rules.
Learning Objectives

Good overview of the new lease accounting rules with examples to reinforce understanding. One of the exam questions, however, seems to provide an answer contrary to the information provided in the presentation slides. It states lessor accounting for an operating lease of rental space includes "A debit to leased asset and a credit to net investment in lease." as the correct answer. The slide presentation clearly indicates that the answer should be a dr. to cash and a cr. to rent income. I believe a dr. to cash and a cr. to rental income is the correct answer for lessor's operating lease. Why would one ever dr. a leased asset and cr. to net investment in lease?

Overall effective overview. Test focused more on whether one can perform calculations versus understanding the basics of new lease accounting rules and impact. Since it is a "101" course, I believe the concepts and impact are more important than the calculations. Instructor starts off the presentation very technical, with the information I wished to glean more in the impact and overview. For those in the business of lease accounting, this would be fine.

I appreciated the update on accounting for leases. I have a CPA, but have worked primarily in security and compliance. The course was helpful to stay up to date with the evolution of Lease accounting. I wish the slides included all the formulas right there with the examples we walked through. I'm a visual learner so seeing the formulas right there with the values helps the calculations stick.

The presentation needs to be updated. It is quite blend and hard to stay focus. I have no doubt that the presenter is quite knowledgeable, but he basically reads the slides. I do realize that it is an hour presentation, which needs to stay very basic; but there were a couple of slides that appears to be hurried and no additional explanation was given.

Overall I would say it is a good overview. I did find that the instructor just read the slides, sometimes very quickly.
Having examples of journal entries was helpful. However, there were 2 example where I didn't understand how the number was calculated. I would recommend that the instructor explain how every number entry was calculated.

Great refresher course with Covid-19 updates on the new lease standard. Very thorough slide handouts, and the videos/instructor were engaging. Highly recommend for anyone affected by the new lease standard - corporate accountants, public accountants, etc. The number of actual examples and case problems for this course were a great addition!

I thought this provided a good overview of the new standard and the key changes to the former accounting standards. I don't think the questions in the final exam that required calculations are fair to those who don't have the tools handy. Questions on the actual guidance would have been more appropriate.

Material was solid but presentation included too much slide reading. Reference to each slide's number was unnecessary since presenter is driving the slide advancement. Additionally, as one Anonymous comment states, it appears that one Final Exam answer is graded in contrast to the materials presented.

I think we should have a more examples of lessee lease and lessor journal entries for the finance lease and even the operating lease.
The examples should have been taken from many industries. Instructor included comments about action the Trump administration would take that I thought were superfluous

This is a very good introduction and summary of the new lease accounting standard, ASC 842. It does a nice job of walking through the actual transactions. However, the differences between the old and the new standard are not discussed in any detail. It would be nice to know exactly what has changed.

Haven't done this in years and founds this to be a good refresher reflecting updates. I was able to follow along just fine except in one place (ROU for the straight line operating lease) where I needed to pause the video and try to back into the calculations by hand to understand the computation.

This course is outdated - effective dates of the new rule is incorrect.
What is the point of presenter just reading slides? There is no explanation for most of calculations. Text based material would be much more effective. The review quiz and final exam has only 3 and 5 questions respectively.

I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn the key points of ASC 842. This course is much better than other similar course (ASC842) which I took from other instructor at illumeo. It clearly provides the journal entries of lessee and lessor books for each type of leasing.

For being a 101 course I expected it to be a little more basic and explanatory. I felt like the instructor kept saying the same things over and over. Would have liked more examples on how to calculate amounts especially since two of the final exam questions were calculations.

Content was good. Course provided a good high level summary of the complex new lease accounting standards. The instructor's style was a bit difficult to listen to (straight reading of slides, constant mention of slide number and asking to move to the next slide, frequent "um/uh").

Overall, I liked the course. I would like a little more explanation of some of the rules rather than just reading the slides. All accounting rules are written in very complex terms and I felt as though the instructor was merely reading the slides for most of the course.

The course is a great overview of leases, and the professor does a great job in explaining material. The course gives perspectives from lessor and lessee. I do feel an hour is not enough to go over everything especially if you don't have much exposure to ASC 842.
Dan Villanueva

A great introductory course for the new lease accounting standard. Covers pretty much all of what I'm expecting for the course (overview of the new rules). As other students pointed out, the exam was too technical and also one question has 2 possible answers.
Quincy Walker

Presenter was not too enthusiastic or exited about the material. Only ASC 842 was quoted but never the exact paragraph within that topic. At the end I did not know what exact question was right or wrong. I merely received the end result without explanation.

It would be more instructive to show the calculation for the ROU and Lease liability in the table format and then include the JE on the following slide. The amounts on the JE are not immediately determinable without calculating on excel.

I don't think the answer to question number 4 on the exam is correct. Lessor's entry for operating lease should be just dr cash/cr rental income, right???
You are correct and that is the answer choice D, debit cash and credit rent revenue.
What is the calculation for #5 question?
Since the rent payments are made at the beginning of the year, its an annuity due. The NPV is 6 payments of $20,000 discounted at10% or $87,105 plus the first payment of $20,000 or $107,105. In the real world space leases are paid monthly in advance but on a yearly basis would be an ordinary annuity and the ROU asset would be $97,368 (7 payments of $20,000 discounted at 10%).
If the lease terms are stated for monthly payments, how would the time value calculations would go?
Most time value of money calculations are done on an annual basis, therefore, just add up the monthly amounts over the year period and then calculate the present value or other amounts.
