Presentation and disclosure: leases, pensions and share-based pay

The notes on leases, pensions and share-based pay are where an analyst finds the amounts, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows that the face of the statements only summarises.

In short

  • Lease disclosure aims to show the amount, timing and uncertainty of lease cash flows. ROU assets and lease liabilities may appear as separate lines or inside 'other' assets and liabilities.
  • IFRS 16 lessees: ROU carrying amount and depreciation by asset class, interest on lease liabilities, total lease cash outflow, ROU additions, and a maturity analysis of lease liabilities separate from other debt.
  • Lessors: finance leases (selling profit or loss, finance income) and operating lease income; undiscounted maturity analysis for each of the first five years plus the rest.
  • IAS 19: DC plans disclose only the expense; DB plans disclose characteristics and risks, a reconciliation of the net liability, sensitivity analysis, plan asset mix and expected cash flow effects.
  • IFRS 2: terms of each share-based arrangement and a roll-forward of options (outstanding, granted, forfeited, exercised, expired, exercisable) with weighted average exercise prices.
