    How do we distinguish between a revaluation loss and a impairment loss?

    A matter of semantics … and not desperately important

    Here’s an extract from the IASPLUS webpage on IAS 16:

    “Measurement subsequent to initial recognition

    IAS 16 permits two accounting models:

    Cost model …

    Revaluation model – the asset is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less subsequent depreciation and impairment, provided that fair value can be measured reliably”

    It looks to me that a revaluation loss is synonymous with impairment where an asset is carried under the revaluation model

    OK?
