Chapter 21
KAPLAN PUBLISHING

The value of the shareholding must also be considered. The net assets
are usually calculated by totalling the assets reported on the SoFP and
deducting liabilities. However, we have seen already that the book or
carrying amounts often do not reflect their true market or fair value. This
is most common with property, plant and equipment. Property often
appreciates in value, whereas in the financial statements of some entities
it is stated at depreciated historic cost. Therefore the fair value of all
assets and liabilities must be determined.
Fair value adjustments are explained in greater detail later in this chapter.
