Objective of the workpaper

For each property concerned (one instance per property), describe the change in use and the evidence (dates, works, contracts), judge whether there is evidence of a change in use or only a management intention, enter the cost and the accumulated amounts, the fair value at the date of change, compute the previous carrying amount and the transfer difference, then prepare the entry according to the direction of the transfer. The allocation of the difference (other comprehensive income or profit or loss) is entered according to the direction of the transfer and submitted to the reviewer.

Judgement on the change in use

Judgment

IAS 40 §57

  • Evidence of the change in use

    JudgmentRequired

    Change in use evidenced: transfer

    Change in use evidenced: transfer / Management's intention only: no transfer

    Rule and cross-reference: a change in use must be evidenced; a change in management's intention does not by itself evidence a change in use (IAS 40, para. 57).

  • Rationale: facts and dates relied on, alternative rejected
