Hire Purchase Accounting

Hire purchase accounting deals with assets acquired through installment-based arrangements where possession is given immediately but ownership transfers after all payments are made. The buyer records the asset and related liability, while interest is recognized over time. It is important to separate principal repayment from finance cost in the accounting treatment.
