Template

Test the asset or cash-generating unit described in {asset_context} for impairment, reasoning through each gate. (1) Identify triggering events: market value decline, adverse regulatory or technological change, physical damage, underperformance against the business plan — state which apply, because absent a trigger (and outside mandatory annual goodwill testing) no test is required. (2) Define the unit of account: the smallest group of assets generating largely independent cash inflows; drawing this boundary wrong predetermines the answer. (3) Estimate recoverable amount: build the value-in-use calculation from management-approved forecasts, stating the discount rate, and separately consider fair value less costs to sell if observable. (4) Compare carrying amount to recoverable amount and compute any impairment loss. (5) Describe the allocation of loss (goodwill first, then pro rata under the applicable framework). (6) List the disclosures required and note that impairment judgments attract auditor scrutiny — document the assumptions contemporaneously.
