Detailed description
Impairment in practice
IFRS is fast becoming the accounting framework in Europe. Impairment (IAS 36) is one of the new procedures among standards. The exposure draft of business combinations means a continuous chain of impairment tests in many companies. To be able to build up an effective impairment process, besides the standard, you need to understand the calculation procedure at a practical level.
The need to manage impairment
Impairment is based on discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology to value business units. DCF is nothing new, but it is a totally new approach to value assets as an accounting principle. The impairment loss has direct impact on a company's net result. In addition impairment has to refer to corporate strategy. This means a challenge to accountants: the need to manage principles and methods to build up a firm impairment process for years to come.
