GASB 87 - LEASES
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 87 Leases which establishes a single reporting model for lease accounting to enhance the relevance and consistency of information about governments' leasing activity. GASB 87 changes the definition of a lease to eliminate the "capital" and "operating" differences. All leases meeting GASB 87 criteria require Lessees to recognize a lease liability and intangible right-to-use lease asset and Lessors to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. |
