An operating lease is a lease arrangement where the asset is used for a period without transferring substantial ownership risks and rewards in the traditional sense. Under older accounting language, it was treated more like a rental arrangement. Current accounting standards may still require balance sheet recognition depending on the lease rules that apply.
