revalued assets, the impairment loss is recognised against the revaluation reserve, for that asset
class. Where that results in a debit balance, in the revaluation reserve, the balance is recognised in
the surplus or deficit. In relation to assets that are not revalued, the total impairment is recognised
in the surplus or deficit.

temperature change are used to continuously check and adjust controls to ensure
maximum efficiency.

• We have used t-tests to determine whether two percentages are different from each other. With each t-test that is done, we incur a probability of a Type I error (rejection of a true
null hypothesis or in other words ‘false positive’). The probability of committing a Type I error is the significance level of the test, which is set to 5%. When doing multiple tests, the
Type I error rate is inflated. We have used the false discovery rate (FDR) method to control the expected proportion
