Hi all,
Please can someone explain in leyman's terms the difference between the cost model and the revaluation model? I'm rather confused!
Thanks

Steve's atricles are always excellent and very easy to follow.
I have looked up IAS16 and an alternative presentation on the web.
The following summary may be helpful, but it is not as detailed as Steve's article.
IAS 16 permits two accounting models:
• Cost Model. The asset is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. [IAS 16.30]
• Revaluation Model. The asset is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less subsequent depreciation and impairment, provided that fair value can be measured reliably. [IAS 16.31]

From the above link
(i) Cost Model
AASB 116 p. 30: asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation or impairment loss
Asset continues to be recorded at original cost
Adjustments are only made for depreciation and impairment losses
(ii) Revaluation Model
Measurement based on fair value
AASB 116 doesn’t specify how often to revalue
fair value of land and buildings should be market based, with a professional appraisal
Applied to a class of assets
Revaluation Increments
Accounting is done on an asset-by-asset basis, even though revaluation is done on a class-by-class basis
increase is taken directly to equity, rather than the income statement
i.e. asset revaluation reserve0
