IAS 16 — Proceeds before intended use

Background

This project looks into the accounting for any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The issue was initially raised with the IFRS Interpretations Committee that had origianally intended to develop an interpretation of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment to deal with it. However, during the course of discussions the Committee concluded that a narrow-scope amendment to IAS 16 would be a better solution.

 

Current status of the project

This project has been completed. The IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) on 14 May 2020.
