Abstract

Artisan Flowers Inc.'s (AFI) business is centered on importing and selling cut flowers. The company has entered into a number of lease transactions that have the president of AFI perplexed with their accounting treatment and implications. Now, the audit firm needs to explain to AFI's president the appropriate treatment and implications of these lease transactions using current IFRS (IAS 17) and (optionally) the 2013 Lease Exposure Draft. The purpose of this case is for students to gain an understanding and appreciation of the intricacies of IAS 17 as well as the proposed Lease Exposure Draft and the implication of these standards on debt covenants. Students are asked for an explanation of the conceptual basis for the standards and for an analysis of the impact of the standards on AFI's statement of financial position. Artisan Flowers Inc. : IFRS régissant les contrats de location, sous l'angle du cadre conceptuel Résumé L'essentiel des activités d'Artisan Flowers Inc. (AFI) consiste dans l'importation et la vente de fleurs coupées. La société a conclu plusieurs opérations de location, et le président d’AFI s'interroge sur le traitement comptable de ces opérations et sur leurs conséquences. Dans les circonstances, le cabinet d'audit doit expliquer au président d’AFI à quel traitement ces opérations de location doivent être soumises et quelles en sont les conséquences en s'appuyant sur l’IFRS qui s'applique (IAS 17) et (s'il le juge à propos) sur l'exposé‐sondage de 2013 sur les contrats de location. Cette étude de cas a pour but d'amener les étudiants à comprendre l’IAS 17, ainsi que l'exposé‐sondage proposé sur les contrats de location, et à en saisir les subtilités, de même qu’à définir les répercussions des dispositions qu'ils contiennent sur les clauses restrictives des contrats de prêt. Les étudiants sont appelés à expliquer les fondements conceptuels des normes et à analyser l'incidence desdites normes sur l’état de la situation financière d’AFI.
