Dear All please can some one explain why revaluation on fixed assets are not added with equity? mention on the liability side only.

dear Muhammad Rehan

 

thank you, this is clear that gain on asset revaluation shall be consider as comprehensive income should be added with Equity as it is gain on sale on fixed asset and also is in compliance with SBP regulation and Basel compliance. But in second case when it represents the reversal of a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized as an expense, and should be recognize in P& L this is ok but what is the logic when appear in credit side of balance sheet and not added with equity and only appear as liability under  "revaluation surplus". Then what is the logic of this liability? where as if previously recognized to p&loss then should have effected the equity indirectly as P&L carry to equity. so should be added with equity

As per IAS16, If a revaluation results in an increase in value, it should be credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading "revaluation surplus" unless it represents the reversal of a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized as an expense, in which case it should be recognized in profit or loss (Para39).

When a revalued asset is disposed of, any revaluation surplus may be transferred directly to retained earnings, or it may be left in equity under the heading revaluation surplus. The transfer to retained earnings should not be made through profit or loss. (Para41)
