Overview
SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease addresses the considerations in evaluating the substance of transactions in the legal form of a lease. Arrangements between an enterprise and an investor should reflect the substance of the arrangement and all aspects of the arrangement should be evaluated to determine its substance, with weight given to those aspects and implications that have an economic effect. In this respect, SIC-27 includes a list of indicators that individually demonstrate that an arrangement may not, in substance, involve a lease under IAS 17 Leases.
