Although an established standard, impairment remains an area which can result in errors in financial reporting and is a focus of regulators.
This seminar takes a detailed look at the performance of impairment testing, including identifying cash-generating units, common pitfalls in estimating future cash flows and a close examination of the importance of the assumptions used in impairment models.
Learning objectives
This masterclass aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the application of the asset impairment model in IFRS. This is critical for identifying when it is required to test for impairment, how to perform the test and what additional considerations might apply to the test results.
Presented in an interactive environment with an expert speaker, preparer and auditor participants will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge of the impairment model, discuss common practical challenges in applying the model and increase their awareness of the views of regulators.
