Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Normally, only assets which are legally owned by a company are recorded as fixed assets in their financial statements. Certain leases, however, are considered to be merely another means of financing the acquisition of an asset. In these cases, the lessee carries substantially all of the risks and benefits associated with property ownership. In those situations, the accounting profession has concluded that it is more appropriate to reflect the substance, rather than the form, of these transactions in financial statements. Consequently, leases of this type(referred to as capital leases) are recorded as if the lessee had actually acquired the asset and assumed a liability. The asset is recorded at its fair market value, and the liability is recorded as the present value of future lease payments. 3, record 4, English, - capital%20lease

Outre les écarts temporaires, les écarts temporels comprennent d'autres écarts entre l'assiette fiscale d'un actif ou d'un passif et sa valeur comptable. Ces autres écarts résultent, par exemple, de la modification de la valeur comptable des actifs et des passifs par suite d'un regroupement d'entreprises comptabilisé selon la méthode de l'achat pur et simple, ou encore des effets des variations des taux de change sur l'équivalent en monnaie étrangère de la valeur comptable, libellée dans la monnaie de présentation des états financiers (ou comptes), des actifs non monétaires des établissements étrangers intégrés. 1, record 7, French, - %C3%A9cart%20temporel

Lorsque la notion de «temporary difference» a été adoptée au Canada et a évincé celle de «timing difference», on a conservé en français l'expression «écart temporaire» pour désigner le «temporary difference». On peut également distinguer l'ancienne notion de la nouvelle en opposant les expressions «écart temporaire-résultats» et «écart temporaire-bilan. 2, record 7, French, - %C3%A9cart%20temporel
