| 34.49 | All heritage assets shall be accounted for in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 34.50 to 34.56. These paragraphs do not apply to investment property, property, plant and equipment or intangible assets which fall within the scope of Section 16 Investment Properties, Section 17 Property, Plant and Equipment and Section 18 Intangible Assets other than Goodwill. |
| 34.50 | Works of art and similar objects are sometimes held by commercial entities but are not heritage assets because they are not maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. These assets shall therefore be accounted for in accordance with Section 17. Heritage assets used by the entity itself, for example historic buildings used for teaching by education establishments, shall also be accounted for in accordance with Section 17. This is based on the view that an operational perspective is likely to be most relevant for most users of financial statements. However, entities that use historic buildings and similar assets may wish to consider whether it is appropriate to apply the disclosures required by paragraphs 34.55 and 34.56. [AMD 573] |
