Topic ASC 842 affects all businesses entering into leasing contracts. The core principle of this New Standard is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments meet the definition of a liability. As such, the lessee must capitalize all leases on their balance sheet, unless an entity chooses not to recognize short-term leases by policy election, or by a low capitalization threshold. In this session, we will review its core principles, including:

• Scope
