If an asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying value, then the asset is impaired and IAS 36 requires that an impairment loss is recognised. IAS 36 details the procedures that an entity must follow to ensure this principle is applied and is applicable for the majority of non-financial assets.
IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ specifies the accounting for impairment reviews. There are some detailed requirements of IAS 36 that are complex and sometimes difficult to interpret and therefore are challenging to apply when preparing financial statements.
Market interest rates and returns on investments in general have increased during the period, indicating that Entity A’s asset may be impaired (IAS 36.12(c)). Entity A’s management is considering if it needs to estimate the recoverable amount of its asset.
Recognising and measuring impairment losses for cash-generating units and goodwill are dealt with in paragraphs 65–108. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.
IAS 36 prescribes that the impairment loss be allocated: then, to the other assets of the unit, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit (IAS 36.104(b)). its FVLCOD (if measurable); its VIU (if determinable); and zero (IAS 36.105). These amounts serve as a ‘floor’ as outlined in the Figure D.10.
If there is an indication of impairment for the corporate asset itself, recoverable amount cannot be determined at the individual asset level, unless management has decided to dispose of it (because corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows) (IAS 36.101).
