Description
FRS 116 Leases replaces FRS 17, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
The audit of financial statements of companies transitioning into FRS 116 will cover:
- The proper carry forward of leases accounted for under FRS 17 to FRS 116 according to transition rules provided in FRS 116
- The new leases signed during the year
Most auditors will identify the above as a risk of material misstatements during the audit planning risk assessment process. Auditors are required to assess the risk and design audit procedures in response to identified risk of material misstatements at assertion level.
