IAS-16 Revision Q's
Spring-24
Q.1 You are the finance manager of Paradox Limited (PL). The financial statements of PL for the
year ended 31 December 2023 are under preparation. In the beginning of 2023, PL adopted
the revaluation model for the subsequent measurement of property, plant and equipment. A
new CEO has recently joined PL. He has pointed out the following non-compliances of IFRSs
after reviewing the draft financial statements of PL:
(i) IAS 16 does not allow selective revaluation, so all classes of property, plant and
equipment should have been revalued.
(ii) The adoption of the revaluation model has been accounted for as a ‘Change in estimate’
(i.e. prospectively) though it is a ‘Change in accounting policy’.
(iii) IAS 16 requires that incremental depreciation must be transferred from revaluation
surplus to retained earnings but the transfer has not been made in the draft financial
statements.
(iv) Some vehicles have been given on rent by PL; these should have been included in
investment property, but instead, they are included in property, plant and equipment.
Required:
Briefly respond to the non-compliances pointed out by the CEO. (08)
A.1 (i) The point raised by CEO is not correct. It is not necessary that all items of property,
plant and equipment (PPE) are revalued, if an item of PPE is revalued, the entire class
of PPE to which that asset belongs shall be revalued. So, selected classes of assets can
be revalued but selected assets within a class cannot be revalued.
(ii) The point raised by CEO is not correct. Adoption of revaluation model for property,
plant and equipment is a change in accounting policy. As per IAS 8, the initial
application of a policy to revalued assets in accordance with IAS 16 is not accounted
for retrospectively.
(iii) The point raised by CEO is not correct. The transfer of incremental depreciation each
year is not compulsory. The entity can choose to transfer the whole revaluation surplus
to retained earnings upon disposal of assets or as incremental depreciation over the
useful life of the assets.
(iv) The point raised by CEO is not correct. As per IAS 40, only land or a building can be
investment property. So, vehicles whether used in business or given for rentals, should
be classified as property, plant and equipment.
