Funding the fleet
Article Abstract:
The UK Accounting Standards Board intends to adopt the approach drawn up by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in relation to leased assets and the way they are reported, namely that from 2005 onwards all leased assets have to be shown on the balance sheet. One of the main areas affected by the changes is in the structure of car fleet funding, where the off-balance sheet benefit of contract hire would no longer be applicable.
