Synopsis

A prior period adjustment where components of an asset are identified should be restricted to the effects of treating separately only those components in respect of which:

  • Any provision for repairs and maintenance was itself eliminated by prior period adjustment on adoption of previous FRS 12.
  • There has been a change from a previous policy off as incurred relevant repairs and maintenance expenditure to a policy where such expenditure is capitalised as it replaces a separately depreciated component.
