Solution

The correct answer is: Both lessee and lessor. Both parties involved in the lease, the lessee (the one who is leasing the asset) and the lessor (the one who owns the asset being leased), need to record the leases differently depending on whether it is a finance lease or an operating lease. This is because the accounting treatment for finance leases and operating leases differs under AASB 16/IFRS 16.
