The FASB’s news release confirms that under the new guidance, any lease with a lease term of more than 12 months will have to be recorded as an asset and a liability on the balance sheet. For most private companies this standard does not become effective until the year 2020. http://www.fasb.org/cs/ContentServer?c=FASBContent_C&pagename=FASB%2FFASBContent_C%2FNewsPage&cid=1176167901466 Back to Posts
