On the date of transition, a company could choose, as it´s deemed cost, historical cost if the previous gaap is not significantly different than IFRS or fair value for PPE, Intangibles and Investment property. I am not sure if I have it clear but under IAS 16, one can choose the deemed cost on a per-item basis on the date of transition.
Is the option at date of transition to use FV or historical cost on a per-item basis available for IAS 40 Investment Properties and IAS 38 Intangibles?
For measurement after recognition, all …

I read this statement some where:
The purposes of a quasi-reorganization are to restate overvalued assets to their lower
fair values (and thus reduce future depreciation) and to eliminate a retained earnings
deficit (and thus facilitate the declaration of dividends).
How overvaluing  assets to their lower fair values will reduce the current deficit???
Although it will reduce the future deprecistion??

Maybe there are revaluation surpluses under equity that can be transferred to the deficit while impairing the overvalued assets?
Kind regards,
Henk

Hello,
Does anyone know where the best place to find
information on capitalizing internal software
development under IFRS?  Any links?  Which IAS/IFRS
standard is this covered under?
