    I have a question: I don’t understand what the journal entry should be when recording an impairment if:

    1) the asset was held at cost

    2) the asset was revalued.

    Please help!

    Thank you in advance

    DO NOT POST YOUR QUESTIONS TWICE!

    1) Dr statement of profit or loss expense
    Cr TNCA

    2) Dr Revaluation reserve
    Cr TNCA

    In that second one, we can only debit the revaluation reserve with as large an amount as is already in the revaluation reserve

    If the impairment is greater than previous revaluation surpluses not so far treated as realised, then any excess will be debited to statement of profit or loss
