IAS 36 ensures that assets are not overvalued on your financial statements. It requires businesses to assess the recoverable amount of their assets. This is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss must be recognized.
IAS 36 requires you to disclose information about how you estimated the recoverable amount for assets like goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. This is especially important when you've allocated these assets to a cash-generating unit (CGU) for impairment review.
Fair value less costs to sell is the price a knowledgeable and willing buyer would pay for an asset, minus the costs of selling it. Value in use is the estimated future cash flows an asset will generate, discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate.
IAS 36 applies to all assets except for:
While IAS 36 doesn't explicitly mention inventories, it's generally understood that it doesn't apply to them. Other standards, like IAS 2 Inventories, cover the measurement and recognition of inventories.
Value in use is the estimated future cash flows an asset will generate. It considers the cash inflows and outflows from using the asset and eventually selling it. These cash flows are discounted to account for the time value of money and risk.
When an impairment loss occurs, IAS 36 requires you to allocate it:
Corporate assets are assets that contribute to the future cash flows of more than one cash-generating unit. Examples include headquarters buildings, research centers, or electronic data processing (EDP) equipment.
IAS 36 aims to ensure that assets are not carried at a value higher than their recoverable amount. This helps prevent overstated asset values on your financial statements.
IAS 36 applies to all assets except those covered by other IFRS standards. This means it doesn't apply to inventories, which are covered by IAS 2.
