Thus,this article aims to describe, analyze and compare the accounting disclosure practices when applying theIAS and the current fiscal norms used in Brazil for leasing. The literature review and simulator models wereused in order to show the main characteristics of the studied variables. The results indicate that the adoptionof international accounting standards reflect, with grater reliability, the equity, economic and financial situationof the lessor and leaseholder alike. The conclusions indicate that the disclosure of the accounting informationis more reliable when adopting the international accounting standards for financial operations; the quality of information prevails in making investment and debt decisions; and the current fiscal legislation in Brazil hasbeen a limiting factor for the accounting harmonization and the practice of corporate governance.Downloads
