One of the main differences between U.S. GAAP and IAS/IFRS is the measurement of property, plant & equipment subsequent to initial recognition. Read IAS 16 and answer the following questions. Provide a list of the references you have used to search this topic. 1) What are the accounting models accepted under IFRS for the measurement of property, plant & equipment subsequent to initial recognition? 2) How often should the company revalue its property, plant & equipment under the revaluation model? 3) How should the revaluation gains and losses be accounted for and reported in the financial statements? 4) How should any claim for compensation from third parties for impairment be accounted for? 5) How should the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant & equipment be accounted for?
IFRS requires annual reviews of long-lived assets (other than goodwill) for reversal indicators. A loss may be reversed up to the newly estimated recoverable amount, not to exceed the initial carrying amount adjusted for depreciation. This is a significant departure from GAAP, so what are the financial statement implications? Is it a good thing or bad?
