Instructional scope
This record supports a contract-first ACC 301 sequence through lease identification, components, commencement assumptions, supplied classification, lessee liability and ROU-asset schedules, lessor net investment, modifications and reassessments, sale-leaseback control, entries, presentation, cash flows, and disclosure reconciliation.
Standards clock
The current lane incorporates applicable amendments through ASU 2023-01 and the bounded lessor rule in ASU 2021-05. The 2025 PIR is complete and identified no matter requiring immediate fundamental standard-setting action. Continued FASB support and possible targeted nonpublic-entity simplification do not change current Topic 842 until issued and adopted.
Limitations
The record does not decide whether a contract contains a lease, supply a rate, classify a lease, establish collectibility, validate fair value or residual assumptions, conclude on impairment, or determine whether a transfer is a sale.
