Lease classification governs recognition: finance leases require asset and liability recording while operating leases are expensed. AS 19 distinguishes finance leases (transferring substantially all risks and rewards) from operating leases and prescribes that lessees recognise finance leases at inception as both an asset and a liability measured at fair value or present value of minimum lease payments using the implicit lease rate or lessee s incremental borrowing rate; lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and liability reduction, leased assets are depreciated consistent with owned assets, impairment rules apply, and specified disclosures of carrying amounts, reconciliations, future minimum lease payments, contingent rents and significant leasing arrangements are required.
