Hi, let’s assume that on 1/1/2010 an asset was purchased for 20,000 (straight-line method, 10 years) and it was held under revaluation method. By the end of 2010, it was impaired to 15,000. Where will the impairment of 3,000 be recognised – in P&L or in OCI?
and if by the end of 2011, the asset is revalued to 30,000, where will be the revaluation gains be recognised and at what amounts?
The impairment is recognised against any gains held in reserves first (OCI). If is subsequently revalued then it will follow the same revaluation rules as normal, gains through OCI. Thanks
