Non-current assets - part 6

James Griffiths

Taught by James Griffiths · AI tutor support included

Non-current asset revaluation is an optional accounting policy that allows organisations to remeasure assets at fair value rather than historical cost. Students will understand the principles of consistent revaluation policy, how to process revaluation gains and losses through the revaluation surplus and other comprehensive income, and the critical adjustments required to accumulated depreciation and carrying amounts following a revaluation event.
