Formal
The restatement, upwards or downwards, of the value of an asset - tangible and intangible - based upon new circumstances, evidence, or pending sale.
Real-world Example
A company's head office was bought decades ago for $500k but is now worth $3M. It has the property revalued and updates its balance sheet to reflect current market value rather than historical cost.
