Objective of the workpaper

For each asset (one instance per asset), enter the cost, residual value and useful life, the carrying amount immediately before classification (after the last depreciation charge), the fair value and the table of costs to sell. The file computes the last depreciation charge, the total costs to sell, fair value less costs to sell, the amount measured at the lower of the two, the loss and, depending on the situation, the reversal capped at the cumulative loss, the result of the disposal and the measurement on ceasing the classification. Fair value is a datum of the file; financing charges and income tax are not costs to sell. Then prepare the entries. The last charge is the full annual charge: the file assumes classification at the reporting date; for a classification during the year, enter the carrying amount after the charge prorated for the period elapsed. The measurement on ceasing the classification reflects only the missed depreciation; any loss down to the recoverable amount is recognised separately.

  • Fair value retained

    JudgmentRequired

    Fair value supported by a valuation

    Fair value supported by a valuation / Fair value to review before concluding

    Rule and cross-reference: an asset held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell (IFRS 5, para. 15); costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal, excluding finance costs and income tax (IFRS 5, Appendix A). The fair value retained is a datum of the file and a documented judgement.

  • Rationale: source of the fair value, date, assumptions, alternative rejected
