Study Notes
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
- IAS 16 outlines accounting for property, plant, and equipment to help users assess a company's investment in non-current assets.
- It defines criteria for recognizing assets, calculating carrying values, and handling depreciation and impairment.
- Property, plant, and equipment are assets used in producing or supplying goods/services over more than one accounting period.
- Depreciable amount is the asset's cost minus its residual value.
- Depreciation allocates the depreciable amount over the asset's useful life.
- Useful life estimates the period an asset remains in service.
- Residual value is the estimated net selling price at the end of its useful life.
- Carrying value is the asset's balance sheet amount after deducting accumulated depreciation and impairment.
- Fair value represents the exchanging amount between informed, willing parties in an arm's-length transaction.
- Assets are recognized when future economic benefits are probable and the cost is measurable.
- Disposed assets are removed from the balance sheet.
- Property, plant and equipment can be recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation or at fair value.
- Initial recording is at cost, including purchase price, related costs for location/condition (e.g., import duties, site prep, delivery).
- General administrative and start-up costs (advertising, promotional) are excluded from the cost.
- Freehold land is not subject to depreciation.
- Revaluation of an asset to fair value is possible and a revaluation reserve is created.
- Regular reviews ensure carrying value matches fair value.
- Assets below fair value are considered impaired, with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
Depreciation Methods
- Entities choose suitable depreciation methods for each asset class annually, reviewed for accuracy.
- Straight-line and reducing balance methods are common.
- Disclosure requirements for property, plant and equipment (PPE) in financial statements include:
- Measurement basis (cost or fair value)
- Depreciation method
- Asset useful lives/depreciation rates
- Beginning and ending carrying value amounts
- Reconciliation of movements (additions, disposals, revaluations/impairments, and depreciation).
