The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board plan to host a series of joint public roundtable meetings on different continents to discuss their revised joint proposals on leasing standards that were published in May.
The roundtables are part of FASB and the IASB’s due process approach to gauging reaction to the revised exposure drafts, which would put require many companies, such as airlines, to carry leasing expenses on their balance sheets that they had been able to keep off the balance sheet in the past.
The meetings will provide an opportunity for those who have submitted a comment letter, or who still intend to submit a comment letter, to discuss the proposals with the two boards in further detail. To ensure that the boards receive input covering a variety of perspectives, they said Tuesday they are seeking participation from preparers, auditors, investors and others.
Registration information for interested participants and observers is available on the Leases project pages on the
An audio recording of the roundtable meetings will be made available shortly after each meeting on the FASB and IASB Web sites.
