IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
PAS 36

Definition: Impairment is a fall in the market value of an


asset so that the recoverable amount is now less than
the carrying amount in the statement of financial position.
Cash Generating unit (CGU) is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing
use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from
the other assets or group of assets.

REVERSAL OF IMPAIRMENT:

Individual Asset recognized in profit/loss


unless carried at revalued
amount
CGUs allocated to assets of CGU on a prorata basis
Goodwill Impairment is never reversed
