Explanation:
AASB 16 Leases sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. According to this standard, lessees are required to recognize nearly all leases on the balance sheet which will reflect their right to use an asset for a period of time and the associated liability for payments.
