Finance Lease Criteria

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Finance Lease Criteria

Finance lease criteria refer to the specific conditions under which a lease is classified as a finance lease, rather than an operating lease. These criteria typically include the transfer of ownership, the lease term covering a major part of the asset’s economic life, and the present value of lease payments approximating the asset’s fair value. Meeting the finance lease criteria impacts financial reporting and asset recognition.
