The International Accounting Standards Board and the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board have announced the membership of a new international working group that will help the boards in their Joint Project on Lease Accounting.

The joint project involves comprehensive reconsideration of all aspects of lease accounting and is expected to lead to fundamental changes in how lessees and lessors account for leases. The boards expect to publish a joint discussion paper in 2008 expressing their preliminary views. Click for Press Release (PDF 51k).
