Have you already familiarized yourself with the key differences between the two accounting standards IFRS 16 and ASC 842?

Both IFRS 16 and ASC 842 require the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, but major differences exist due to differences in the lease accounting model.
