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?

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).

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

Hi Prethy

Actually available for sale is an open category that means that if company did not decide where to classify it can be classified as  available for sale. However for held for trading investments are bought to resell for short term gain rather to earn dividend but available for sale normally includes investment which are not held for short term gain rather which are carried for earning long term capital gain or dividend …

Hi,

Hi there,
sale?

Assets held for sale include assets (or groups of
