Get ready for MFRS 16

A new accounting standard for leases

The Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (the Board) issued MFRS 16 Leases in April 2016, which set an effective date of 1 January 2019. The new standard will likely present several key implementation challenges for entities, particularly lessees, in addition to technical accounting challenges. As time has passed near to the effective date, these could be overwhelming if not planned early.

This new standard covers various key issues including the options and benefits on transition which highlight the potential cost savings available depending on the options chosen. It looks at the available practical expedients relating to the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. These standards also obtain the new information needed where judgements are involved in applying MFRS 16.

In addition, MFRS 16 explores the two ways in determining discount rates i.e. the implicit rate of the lease, or if it is not practicable, the incremental borrowing rate of the lease. Another key issue the standard focuses on is studying the factors a lender would typically consider to arrive at an appropriate incremental borrowing rate for the lease.

As 1 January 2019, the effective date, approaches, the most important action an entity can take is to start the efforts related to this accounting change now. It can be a challenge to anticipate the data gaps and overcome the data extraction hurdle, but with adequate support from professionals with a good understanding of its requirements and the interpretation issues, it can be achieved.

Accounting for revenue under MFRS 15

Achieving a head start

With an effective date of 1 January 2018, MFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. It supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including MFRS 118 Revenue, MFRS 111 Construction Contracts and other related interpretations.

Under MFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the five steps approach. The first step is to identify contracts with customers. The next step is to identify the performance obligations (PO). Following the second step, we would have to determine the transaction price (TP). TP to PO is then allocated based on fair value. The final step is to recognise allocated revenue when the PO is satisfied.

While MFRS 15 is a very comprehensive standard, there are numerous areas that are subjected to judgment and interpretation. You will need professionals with a good understanding of its requirements and the interpretation issues, in order to help you identify the other significant implications on your business that go beyond just compliance.
