2.4.2 Local materiality threshold
- For subsidiaries’ financial statements, materiality level for impairment test purposes should

3. Timing of Impairment Tests
3.1. General rule
Assets are required to be tested for impairment at any point when indicators of impairment (see section
4) are present. Indicators are assessed at each reporting date at least on annual basis.
3.2. Annual impairment test
The following assets are required to be tested for impairment annually:
• Goodwill (the CGU to which goodwill has been allocated)
• Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life
• Intangible assets not yet available for use
Assets above are tested for impairment each year, regardless of whether there are any indications of
impairment. Note that an annual test is required for these assets as there is greater uncertainty
regarding the ability of these assets to generate sufficient future economic benefits to recover their
carrying amounts.
Notes:
- These assets must be tested annually, and also at any point when indicators of impairment are
present.
- Annual impairment test can be at any time during an annual period, provided the test is performed at
the same time of the year.
