Prior to 2005, reporting entities within Australia could offset increments and decrements within a class of assets so that only the net amount would go to profit or loss, or the revaluation surplus. This practice is no longer permitted for for-profit entities (not-for-profit entities are still permitted to offset increments and decrements within a class of assets). You are required to identify whether you prefer the pre- or post-2005 requirements, and justify your preference.
