    B. Acquisition Date

    Explanation:

    The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) specifically IAS 16 speaks to the recognition, carrying amount, impairment losses recognition, depreciation and disclosure information on property, plant and equipment. Actually property, plant and equipment could also be known as fixed assets.

    IFRS specifies that the useful lives of the Property, plant and equipment be disclosed since this is important in determining depreciation as well as carrying amount among others.

    IFRS also specifies that the amounts of disposals be disclosed to better understand closing or salvage value of the asset.

    However, IFRS does not specify the disclosure of the acquisition dates in the financial statements or the footnotes of the Company for Property, plant and equipment.
