Preparing The Assignment: Please Select A Company List

In preparing the assignment, please select one company listed on T

In preparing the assignment, please “select one company listed on the ASX that revalued the non-current assets in its 2016 or 2017 annual report". Do not select companies that only apply cost to measure their assets. AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) requires each class of PPE to be measured at either cost or revaluation model (fair value). You are required to write a report, containing two parts:

Part 1: Please use around 200 words to summarize the following academic paper: Yoo, C-Y., Choi, TH., and J. Pae. 2018. Demand for fair value accounting: The case of the asset revaluation boom in Korea during the global financial crisis. Journal of Business, Finance and Accounting 45: 92-114.

Part 2: Select one company listed on the ASX that revalued the non-current assets in its 2016 or 2017 annual report. Use around 700 words to: (1) discuss why this company elected to revalue its non-current assets; and (2) summarize all possible factors that companies would consider when deciding whether to revalue their non-current assets. Please support your discussion by citing specific references such as newspaper articles, staff papers from AASB, articles from practitioner journals and scholarly journals. You must show the word count in your assignment.

Paper For Above instruction

The task involves two main components: a concise summary of a scholarly article on fair value accounting during asset revaluation booms, and an analytical discussion of a specific ASX-listed company's decision to revalue its non-current assets, along with the general considerations involved in such revaluations. The first part requires distilling the key arguments and findings of Yoo et al.’s (2018) paper, which examines the demand for fair value accounting during Korea’s asset revaluation surge amid the global financial crisis. The paper discusses how external factors like market conditions, regulatory environments, and investor preferences fueled the popularity of revaluation and fair value measures. The authors analyze implications for financial stability, transparency, and corporate valuation, providing a comprehensive understanding of the drivers behind revaluation practices during periods of economic upheaval. Following this, the second part involves selecting a relevant company from the ASX that engaged in asset revaluation during 2016 or 2017. The discussion should explore the company's motivations, including strategic reasons, market signaling, accounting standards compliance, and potential impact on financial statements. Additionally, it should examine broader factors influencing revaluations such as economic conditions, industry trends, stakeholder expectations, and regulatory guidance. Citing credible sources like journal articles, industry reports, and official accounting standards will lend academic rigor to the analysis. The overall narrative must maintain a professional, proposal-oriented tone suitable for advising clients or stakeholders.
