Question
A company revalues its PPE upward to reflect fair value. Where should the resulting increase be recorded in financial statements?

Under IAS 16, an upward revaluation does not represent realized income.Therefore, it is credited to Revaluation Surplus (under Equity / OCI) and bypasses Profit & Loss to avoid inflating profits with unrealized gains.
