Arcane Accounting Topics
Fellow Monkeys
I am interested in writing a few blog entries for WSO but having an issue coming up with good topics. I am very passionate about finance but have a strong background in financial accounting and would like to share with you this knowledge. I am looking for suggestions on accounting issues that relate to finance that are hard to understand for someone without a background in accounting. I will then choose some of these topics to write about and hopefully help others learn from.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Yeah - here's a big classic one:
Capital vs. Operating leases
What defines something as an operating lease vs. a capital lease? How much do you have to tweak the contract to make it legitimately one or the other?
What are the implications from a balance sheet perspective of classifying something as an operating lease vs. capital lease?
From an audit perspective, do you view operating leases as a form of leverage? How do you view them in the broader context of the capital structure of the company you're auditing?
Are there changes to the current lease categorization paradigm on the horizon? If so, what will be impacted?
Just speak your mind about it - I think this is an unbelievably important topic as a banker. Tell me what you know about this topic/what I should know
