These assets (including individual CGUs) are not required to be tested at the same time.
- If these assets are initially recognized during the current period, they must be tested before / at the
end of current period.
- If tested for impairment before the end of the reporting period, an additional test is required of there
are indicators of impairment at the reporting date.
4. Impairment Indicators
The following internal and external indicators are considered when assessing whether there are
indicators of impairment. An asset should be tested for impairment when one or more of these indicators
are triggered.
4.1. External indicators
External indicators of impairment include:
• Significant decline in market value of the entity (or CGU)
• Significant adverse changes in the technological, market or economic environment in which the
company operates (e.g. increases in levies, the entry of a major competitor into the market, a
change in consumer demand that the entity is unable to respond to)
• Significant increase in interest rates (and thus cost of capital used for value in use calculation)
Notes:
- An interest rate hike is not an applicable indicator when it reflects inflation because future cash flows
would be inflated as well.
- The above indicators are conditions under which the recoverable amount of an asset or of a cashgenerating
unit should be determined. They do not imply that the asset or the CGU is impaired. The
evidence of impairment is the fact that the recoverable amount of an asset or of a CGU is lower than
its carrying amount.
4.2. Internal indicators
Internal indicators of impairment include:
• Evidence of obsolescence or physical damage
• Significant changes in the extent to which an asset is used or is expected to be used, such as:
- An asset becoming idle
- Plans to discontinue or restructure the operation to which an asset belongs
- Plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date
- A reassessment of the useful economic life of an asset as finite rather than indefinite.
• Evidence from internal reporting that the economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than
expected, such as:
- Cash flows for acquiring the asset, or subsequent cash needs for operating or maintaining it,
being significantly higher than originally budgeted
- Actual net cash flows or operating profit or loss flowing from the asset are significantly worse
than budgeted
These assets (including individual CGUs) are not required to be tested at the same time.
- If these assets are initially recognized during the current period, they must be tested before / at the
end of current period.
