Abstract
Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (POA) have been published the Islamic Finance Accounting Standards (IFAS) in 2019. In this study, it is aimed to account for leasing (Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek) transactions within the framework of IFAS 8 Ijarah and Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek and to compare the relevant standard with TFRS 16 Leases. In this context, in cases where an Islamic financial institution is both a lessor and a lessee, the application of the IFAS 8 has been presented through an example. Besides, TFRS 16 applied by IFIs has been compared with IFAS 8. Although leasing transactions and Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek transactions are similar, it has been determined that there are significant differences in terms of the structure of the contract and accounting.
