General disclosure objective
IFRS 16 contains both quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to give a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on the financial statements.
Entities should focus on the disclosure objective, not on a fixed checklist.
Illustrative disclosures
IFRS 16 offers a range of transition options. This guide illustrates the modified retrospective approach, using a number of the practical expedients available under this approach, and the retrospective method.
