    It’s to essentially make the situation fairer. If an entity revalues an asset then more depreciation will be charged than if it hadn’t revalued. It’s profitability would look worse than if it hadn’t revalued. Making the transfer from revaluation surplus corrects this problem.

    I would suggest the above topic may be of more importance in the financial reporting subject of Acca.
