Overview   

With most economies experiencing either slow growth, no growth or recessions, testing assets (or groups of assets called ‘cash-generating units’) for impairment should be a regular exercise performed by an accountant.  

Macro-economic indicators of possible impairment trigger the necessity to test assets for impairment, just like micro-economic indicators, such as significant damage to an asset, do. It is essential that accountants make sure that they are considering the correct principles and applying the process of impairment testing correctly in order to comply with the requirements of IAS 36. 

Join Anton van Wyk M.Com, CA(SA) on 24 November 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. as he discusses impairment and how to determine an asset's recoverable amount.
