Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Property sits idle, earning rental streams
Not for production, not for company schemes
Hold it for appreciation, watch the value climb
IAS forty draws the classification line
Land or buildings generating cash today
Investment purpose guides the accounting way

[Chorus]
Fair value model, cost model too
Pick your measurement, see it through
Transfers trigger new accounting rules
Investment property, learn these tools
Recognize the gains, track disposal proceeds
IAS forty meets your financial needs

[Verse 2]
Owner-occupied switches to investment grade
Reclassify when rental income's made
Fair value option brings revaluation gains
Straight to profit, breaking depreciation chains
Cost model keeps historical amounts intact
Depreciate annually, that's the fact

[Chorus]
Fair value model, cost model too
Pick your measurement, see it through
Transfers trigger new accounting rules
Investment property, learn these tools
Recognize the gains, track disposal proceeds
IAS forty meets your financial needs

[Bridge]
Disposal day arrives, derecognize with care
Proceeds minus carrying amount, profit's share
Transfer out to inventory, cost becomes the base
Development intentions change the classification space

[Verse 3]
Evidence drives classification every time
Rental advertisements, lease agreements prime
Fair value must be measured reliably
Or cost model becomes necessity
Subsequent expenditure, capitalize or not
Enhancement versus maintenance, connect each dot

[Chorus]
Fair value model, cost model too
Pick your measurement, see it through
Transfers trigger new accounting rules
Investment property, learn these tools
Recognize the gains, track disposal proceeds
IAS forty meets your financial needs

[Outro]
Investment property standards crystal clear
Classification, measurement drawing near
Transfers, disposals, model selection tight
IAS forty guides your accounting sight
