IFRS 16 Leases : A Study on the Impact of the Standard on Companies Financial Reports in the Hospitality Industry (English)
Abstract [sv]

Redovisningsstandarden för leasingavtal, IFRS 16 Leasing, trädde i kraft i januari 2019. Redovisningsorganet IASB lanserade IFRS 16 för att skapa en mer rättvisande bild av företag samt företagens finansiella ställning, då samtliga leasingavtal nu ska redovisas i balansräkningen likt de tidigare finansiella leasingavtalen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur företag inom den svenska besöksnäringen påverkas av IFRS 16, samt hur de anpassar sina leasingavtal efter implementeringen av IFRS 16. En flerfallstudie bestående av intervjuer samt granskningar av koncernernas finansiella rapporter har utförts för att svara på studiens forskningsfrågor. Studiens resultat visar att fallföretagens finansiella rapporter har påverkats negativt av IFRS 16, vilket visar sig främst i fallföretagens balansräkningar, samt i det finansiella nyckeltalet soliditet. IFRS 16 bidrar till de negativa effekterna genom att operationella leasingavtal kapitaliseras, vilket innebär att nyttjanderättstillgångar och leasingskulder förs in i fallföretagens balansräkningar. Slutligen visar studien att fallföretagens val av finansiering av tillgångar inte förändras i det stora hela.

Abstract [en]

The accounting standard for leases, IFRS 16 Leases, came into force in January 2019. The accounting body IASB launched IFRS 16 to create a more accurate picture of the companies, and the companies’ financial positions, since all leasing agreements now must be reported in the balance sheet as in the previous financial leasing agreements. The purpose of the study is to investigate how companies in the Swedish hospitality industry are affected by IFRS 16, and how they adapt their leasing agreements to the implementation of IFRS 16. A case study consisting of interviews and audits of the case companies’ financial reports has been conducted to answer the study's research questions. The results of this study shows that the case companies’ financial statements have been adversely affected by IFRS 16, which is mainly reflected in the case companies' balance sheets, as well as in the financial key ratio. IFRS 16 contributes to the negative effects by capitalizing operating lease agreements, which means that rights of use and leasing liabilities are entered in the case companies' balance sheets. Finally, the study shows that the case companies' choice of asset financing does not change for the most part.
