Are these still in the Financial section of the test? I remember in Summer of ’09 one of my accounting professors said he just got a notice that said GAAP has changed and we account for Capital/Operating leases the same way…I’m using Becker 2009 so if anyone knows if this material has changed I’d appreciate a heads up as I’m taking the test next week. Thanks!

Accounting for leases has not changed yet. There are still separate accounting treatments for operating leases and capital leases. Becker 2009 has it correct. There is a project underway to change acocunting for leases, but it is nowhere close to being complete. Only general statements have been released regarding the new treatment. No new rules and/or guidelines have been released.
