IFRS The preparation of financial statements and assessment of investment property

The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for investment property and related disclosure requirements. Investment property is property  held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:

1. Use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
2. Sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held
by an entity. This distinguishes investment property from owner-occupied property.
The production or supply of goods or services  generates cash flows that are attributable not only to property, but also to
other assets used in the production or supply process.

IFRS The preparation of financial statements and assessment of investment property : A property interest that is held by a lessee under an operating lease may be classified and accounted for as investment property provided that:

1. The rest of the definition of investment property is met.
2. The operating lease is accounted for as if it were a finance lease in accordance with IAS 17 Leases.
3. The lessee uses the fair value model set out in this Standard for the asset recognised.

IFRS The preparation of financial statements and assessment of investment property: Investment property shall be recognised as an asset when, and only when:

1. It is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the entity.
2. The cost of the investment property can be measured reliably. An investment property shall be measured initially at its cost.

Transaction costs shall be included in the initial measurement. The initial cost of a property interest held under a lease and classified as an investment property shall be as prescribed for a finance lease by paragraph 20 of IAS 17, ie the asset shall be recognised at the lower of the fair value of the property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. An equivalent amount shall be recognised as a liability in accordance with that same paragraph.

IFRS The preparation of financial statements and assessment of investment property: The Standard permits entities to choose either:

1. A fair value model, under which an investment property is measured, after initial measurement, at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss; or
2. A cost model. The cost model is specified in IAS 16 and requires an investment property to be measured after initial measurement at depreciated cost  is less accumulated impairment loose.

IFRS The preparation of financial statements and assessment of investment property : An entity that chooses the cost model discloses the fair value of its investment property. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

An investment property shall be derecognised (eliminated from the statement of financial position) on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and shall be recognised in profit or loss (unless IAS 17 requires otherwise on a sale and leaseback) in the period of the retirement or disposal.
