Under IFRS (IAS 16), a company may choose to account for a building using the 'Revaluation Model.'

If the building's fair value increases above its original cost, where is the increase typically recorded?

  1. In Retained Earnings as a prior-period adjustment.
  2. In Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) as a Revaluation Surplus.
  3. It is not recorded; IFRS only allows writing assets down, never up.
  4. Directly in Net Income as a 'Gain on Revaluation'.
