Departments, agencies and corporations are currently working to identify the financial impact of AASB16 and will record leases in line with the new accounting standard for the first time as part of the 2019-20 State Budget. It is anticipated that the majority of these organisations will have one or more leases subject to a change in accounting treatment. The overall financial impact of the new lease standard will be disclosed in the 2019-20 Budget. Refer to page 29 of the 2018-19 Government Mid-year Financial Projections Statement for additional background.
