Deloitte comment letter on tentative agenda decision on IFRS 16 — Definition of a lease — Shipping contract
We have commented on the IFRS Interpretations Committee's publication in the September 2019 IFRIC Update of the tentative decision not to take onto the Committee's agenda the request for clarification on whether in the specific fact pattern presented the customer has the right to direct the use of a ship throughout the five-year term of a particular contract.
