Financial leases - comparison of Czech accounting legislation with International Financial Reporting Standars - impact on profit and loss account

The goal of this thesis is to compare the costs of leasing according to Czech accounting rules and according to international accounting standards. Regulations according to International accounting standards are divided according to the length of duration of individual agreements, in several steps {--}in order of consecutive years until the complete down-payment according to schedule. It is a regulation of accounting operations and economic results in the years of 2002-2009. For comparison I used the standard agreement for a cargo truck. As another comparison I chose a lease-back agreement for a building project. The practical part of the thesis transforms Czech accounting prescriptions into IAS accounting prescriptions in the form of tables. With the help of calculations and comparison of individual accounting prescriptions concerning financial leasing /Czech and international/ I came up with a number of results. I worked out two leasing agreements with variant solutions of transitions to financial leasing accounting according to IAS 17 in different years with differing leasing agreement duration. Each option is transformed, the costs and their variance is evaluated from the point of view of both accounting methods and the impact of these differences on economic results is resolved. In the conclusion each leasing agreement both approaches, the Czech and the international, are compared and all the differences which follow are summarized in a table
