Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A contract grants control, right to use an asset
For a period of time, exchange consideration
Identify the lease first, then recognition follows
Right-of-use asset born, liability shadows

[Chorus]
R-O-U, asset on the books today
Lease liability, present valueway
Discount rate decides the calculation fate
IFRS sixteen, don't underestimate
R-O-U, asset depreciation
Lease liability, interest allocation

[Verse 2]
Incremental borrowing rate when implicit's hidden
Secured lending rate adjusted for the lease specifics
Initial measurement captures payments yet to come
Variable payments excluded, only fixed ones sum

[Chorus]
R-O-U, asset on the books today
Lease liability, present value way
Discount rate decides the calculation fate
IFRS sixteen, don't underestimate
R-O-U, asset depreciation
Lease liability, interest allocation

[Verse 3]
Twelve months or less qualifies for short-term treatment
Low-value items get the same procurement
Five thousand threshold, underlying asset new
Practical expedient, expense as payments due

[Bridge]
Modifications change the scope or consideration
Separate lease or remeasurement situation
If it's a separate lease, account accordingly
Otherwise remeasure, adjust the liability

[Chorus]
R-O-U, asset on the books today
Lease liability, present value way
Discount rate decides the calculation fate
IFRS sixteen, don't underestimate
R-O-U, asset depreciation
Lease liability, interest allocation

[Outro]
Initial costs and prepayments, add them to the base
Incentives received subtract from asset's face
Restoration costs estimated at commencement date
Balance sheet transformation, lease accounting's fate
