Understand IFRS 16 and how it transforms lease accounting for lessees.
IFRS 16 Leases, effective since 1 January 2019, brought a significant shift in lease accounting by requiring lessees to recognize nearly all leases on the statement of financial position. This standard introduces the concept of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, enhancing transparency and comparability across financial statements. This webinar provides a clear and structured overview of the standard and its application in practice.
You’ll gain insight into the scope of IFRS 16, the distinction between lease and non-lease components, the new accounting model for lessees, and key considerations such as variable lease payments, exemptions, and determining the lease term. This course is essential for accounting professionals seeking to stay current with IFRS standards and improve their lease accounting practices.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
