IFRS: Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Online Course on IFRS:
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) plays a crucial role in the financial statements of many entities. They often make up one of the largest items on the statement of financial position and also play a big part in the statement of comprehensive income through the charging of
depreciation and impairment.

Accounting for them appropriately is therefore often vital.

This course looks at accounting for PPE through two Standards in particular. IAS 16 is the IFRS Standard that covers PPE specifically and IAS 36 covers the
connected issue of impairment.

The course explains all the key accounting requirements and disclosures and
discussesthem in detail, and is designed to enable you to make sound judgements
as well as to understand the standards.

Understanding IFRS: Property, Plant and Equipment enables the learner to:

• Recognise what the overall rule for a PPE asset is
• Understand how the cost of an asset is charged against profits in a way that reflects its usage
• Define key concepts in various PPE disclosures such as impairments and business combinations
• Decide if an asset is impaired and if so, what actions to follow
• Identify key rules with relation to estimating future cash flows, and recognising and measuring impairment losses
