Resumen
The purpose of this work is to analyze the accounting treatment of IFRS 16 and IAS 36 in
the companies of the commercial and industrial sector of Cuenca during COVID-19. It was
determined that the commercial and industrial sector contributes the most to the economy of
Cuenca, however, due to COVID-19 the companies suffered a decrease in demand and
therefore in income. Therefore, to support the research, we proceeded to gather information
regarding the regulations, changes and amendments to IFRS 16 and IAS 36, together with
practical examples, in order to illustrate the changes produced at the accounting level.
The methodology used is of a mixed approach, descriptive and explanatory, which took as
the study population the companies of the commercial and industrial sector of the Cuenca
canton, which apply the complete IFRS. The calculated sample consisted of 2 companies
from the commercial sector and 2 from the industrial sector, which meet the following
criteria: report of financial statements for the year 2020, register asset account for right of
use and asset impairment account.
The results determined that three quarters do have operating leases for the facilities where
they operate, one of them was hit hard by the pandemic as it had to stop its operations for a
period of 3 months, so it had to terminate some of its contracts. The three remaining
companies, although they were impacted by COVID-19, the impact at the operational,
accounting and financial level was minimal.
