As a step toward improving and converging the existing lease-accounting standards, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board recently issued a discussion paper titled "Leases: Preliminary Views" in which the Boards jointly propose several elements of a new model for lease accounting. This month's column will explain the key elements of the Boards' proposal and the potential impact of those elements on entities that must account for leases. The key elements of the Boards' proposal are: 1. the elimination of the finance/operating lease distinction, and 2. a requirement to represent all leases on the lessee's balance sheet through a combination of an asset and a liability.

In March 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The objectives of the new standards are to improve the usefulness and comparability of fund balance information, by reporting fund balance in more intuitive and meaningful components and clarifying the definitions of the types of governmental funds. GASB and many practitioners believe that the current fund balance classifications -- reserved fund balance, unreserved-designated fund balance and unreserved-undesignated fund balance -- are problematic because the standards defining them are vague, leading to considerable variation in how governments report fund balance and divergence from the intent of the standards.
