  requirements, which include a qualitative sensitivity analysis. The disclosures for revalued

  PP&E categorised under Level 3 include a reconciliation from the opening balance to the

  closing balance, disclosing separately changes during the period to the following:

  (i)

  total gains and losses for the period recognised in profit or loss, and the line item(s)

  in profit or loss in which these gains or losses are recognised;

  (ii) total gains and losses for the period recognised in other comprehensive income,

  and the line item(s) in other comprehensive income in which those gains or losses

  are recognised;

  (iii) purchases, sales, issues and settlements (separately disclosing each of those types

  of changes);

  (iv) transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (separately disclosing and

  discussing transfers into Level 3 from those out of Level 3) including:

  • the amounts of any transfers into or out of Level 3;

  • the reasons for those transfers; and

  • the entity’s policy for determining when transfers between levels are deemed

  to have occurred. [IFRS 13.93].

  These requirements and examples of the requirements are discussed in more detail in

  Chapter 14 at 20.

  8.3 Other

  disclosures

  In addition to the disclosures required by IAS 1, IAS 16 (i.e. those discussed in 8.1 and 8.2

  above) and IFRS 13, the standard emphasises that entities are also required to disclose

  information on impaired PP&E in accordance with IAS 36 (see Chapter 20 at 14.2.1

  and 14.2.2). [IAS 16.78].

  As users of financial statements may find other information relevant to their needs, the

  standard encourages, but does not require, entities to disclose other additional

  information such as the carrying amount of any temporarily idle PP&E, the gross

  carrying amount of any fully depreciated PP&E that is still in use and the carrying

  amount of any PP&E retired from active use but not classified as held for disposal in

  accordance with IFRS 5. For any PP&E measured using the cost model, the disclosure

  of its fair value is also encouraged when this is materially different from the carrying

  amount. [IAS 16.79].

  Investment property

  1 INTRODUCTION

  IAS 40 – Investment Property –
is an example of the particular commercial

  characteristics of an industry resulting in the special accounting treatment of a certain

  category of asset, i.e. investment property. However, it is not only investment property

  companies that hold investment property; any property that meets the investment

  property definition in IAS 40 is so classified, irrespective of the nature of the business

  of the reporting entity. This standard should be applied in the recognition, measurement

  and disclosure of investment property. [IAS 40.1, 2].

  The original standard, which was approved in 2000, was the first international standard

  to introduce the possibility of applying a fair value model for non-financial assets where

  all valuation changes from one period to the next are reported in profit or loss. This

  contrasts with the revaluation approach allowed under IAS 16 – Property, Plant and

  Equipment (see Chapter 18 at 6) where increases above cost, and their reversals, are

  recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’).

  The exposure draft that preceded IAS 40 proposed that fair value should be the sole

  measurement model for investment property. However, some respondents were

  concerned that, in certain parts of the world, property markets were not sufficiently

  liquid to support fair value measurement for financial reporting purposes.

  Consequently, the cost option was introduced into the standard, as the Board

  believed, at that stage, that it was impracticable to require a fair value model for all

  investment property.

  Despite the free choice of model available, IAS 40 has a rebuttable presumption that,

  other than in exceptional cases, an entity can measure the fair value of a completed

  investment property reliably on a continuing basis.

  The question of the reliability of valuations was given greater focus following the change

  in scope of the standard in 2009 to include investment property under construction

  (see 2.5 below) because, following that change, the standard allows investment property

  under construction to be measured at cost if the fair value cannot be measured reliably.

  However, in this case, the standard is not explicit on whether this should be confined

  to ‘exceptional cases’ or not.
