Join LeaseQuery accounting expert Rachel Reed as she explores the triggers for lease modifications and how to account for them under the new lease accounting standard, ASC 842. We will review the similarities and differences for lease reassessments, remeasurements, and modifications and then explore the accounting treatment for each. This presentation will include a comprehensive example of a lease modification within the accounting framework of ASC 842. Our example will begin with identifying the indicators of a lease modification in a realistic example and then walk through the adjusting journal entries required.
