Written by Marty Jaynes | Oct 29, 2021 2:48:25 AM

Even though IFRS 16 came into effect two years ago, banks are still looking at a company's balance sheet using the old standard. However, this will be changing soon and will have an impact on an organisation's financial decision making around:

  • Capital management
  • Balance sheet management
  • M&A and IPOs
