Acc3100 Case Study You are an assistant to the CFO of Organic Markets. Organic Markets is a fast growing national supermarket chain, and is evaluating growth opportunities overseas. The CFO is looking at a natural food grocery chain in France as a potential acquisition target. Both Organic Markets and the French grocery chain lease most of their store space under operating leases. A major shareholder of your company asked your boss whether accounting for operating leases under IFRS is similar to U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, the shareholder asked whether the recently issued new lease accounting standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements of the French company and Organic Markets. Your boss told the major shareholder that he would get back to him in a day or two, as he has not paid much attention to the lease accounting development. Your boss asked you to do some research and prepare a memo for him. The memo should discuss briefly 1) why the FASB/TASB decided to change the lease accounting rules, 2) the key differences (if any) between the FASB's new standard and the IASB's, 3) how the FASB's new standard will impact Organic Markets' balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, and 4) how the IASB's new standard will impact the French grocery chain's financial statements
