The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) has issued a summary of the feedback received on a joint leases outreach event co-hosted by the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS), and the Association Belge des Analystes Financiers (ABAF/BVFA) on 5 July.

  • Advantages and disadvantages of IFRS 16 for financial statement users.
  • Population of contracts captured by the scope of IFRS 16.
  • IFRS 16 presentation requirements.
  • Non-GAAP measures.
