Why in chapter 3 of F7 is revaluation deficit shown under revaluation reserve in socie…Should not htis be under retained earnings
February 26, 2014 at 7:33 pm #160480No, I believe that revaluations are a comprehensive income item and are thus shown both in Statement of Comprehensive Income as well as in Statement of Changes in Equity
February 26, 2014 at 8:20 pm #160496Sir, I am asking something else…..my question is why is revaluation loss shown under revaluation reserve heading in socie….should not that be under retained earnings heading ……I had read somewhere that revaluation gain is shown in other comprehensive income and revaluation reserve whereas revaluation loss is shown in statement of profit or loss and retained earnings
February 27, 2014 at 6:06 am #160587It depends on whether the revaluation reserve relates to the asset which is now being impaired. If it does relate to that asset, the revaluation decrease is used, first of all, to reduce that revaluation reserve and then, if there is an impairment greater than the previous revaluations, the excess is written off within Statement of Income
Ok?

NepalFebruary 27, 2014 at 3:13 pm #160829It certainly should appear in working W3 “less goodwill impaired since acquisition (just our share) and also in working W2 Goodwill “less goodwill impaired since acquisition” in full ie including any impairment attributable to the nci
Does that help?
February 27, 2014 at 5:44 pm #160884Thanks @MikeLittle.
But i got confused now since you used the word impairment…are revaluation loss and impariment interchangeable terms??February 28, 2014 at 6:49 am #161050Probably not, but where a revalued asset is now suffering a downward revaluation, is that not effectively the same as an impairment?
February 28, 2014 at 7:06 am #161053ok thanks
