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.
