Assets fully depreciated and written off now needs to be written back : IFRS

30 October 2022

Previous accountant wrote off a fully depreciated asset erroneously which still holds significant value. Can we revalue this asset using a certified valuer and bring it back to books and claim further depreciation going forward. We follow IFRS.

Yea. If you have revaluatiin policy and not at cost you can do that. If you value at cost then the error can be set right through prior period changes standard

Thanks, but does that not mean I have to first say it was an error to write off the asset and then bring it back to books, then revalue it and then revise its useful life to make it depreciable ?
