Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the objectives of this study was to examine the methods for measuring property lease transactions from the perspective of the lessees, clarify the economic substance of such transactions, and propose valid methods for the measurement of such transactions based on accounting theory. The results reveal that property lease transactions are first classified according to whether they are non-cancelable. For non-cancelable lease transactions, cash flow is settled for the lease term, which determines monetary claims and obligations for lease payments in each term. Thus, the sum of the leasehold and the current value of the lease payments should be stated as assets and liabilities. The survey results show that as almost all the companies are operating lease transactions, they record lease payments in full, as expenses; however, this accounting treatment is inappropriate.
