Asset Impairment Review Workspace

Organise the evidence and assumptions behind an asset impairment review. This workspace is designed to bring test groups, carrying values and user-supplied cash-flow assumptions together for sensitivity analysis and a documented assessment.

Best suited to

Finance teams preparing asset impairment working papers.

What you can manage

• Define the assets or groups included in the assessment.
• Record their relevant accounting carrying values.
• Enter cash-flow assumptions supplied for the review.
• Compare sensitivities to the selected calculation inputs.
• Maintain a review file supporting the resulting accounting judgement.

A practical workflow

Establish the test population and check the carrying values. Review the supplied forecasts and calculation assumptions, examine sensitivities and retain the assessment evidence before deciding whether an accounting adjustment is appropriate.

Why this workflow matters

Asset expense calculations depend on assumptions that can change over time. Documenting the selected basis and reviewing the movement from the prior schedule helps explain the period charge and closing value. Significant estimate changes should be assessed with their supporting evidence before they are reflected in the accounting records.

Working with your records

Keep the asset or lease evidence and approved accounting assumptions available when reviewing a schedule. Confirm dates, cost components and any subsequent change before accepting the period result. Calculations support the selected accounting treatment; they do not establish that a contract or asset meets a particular reporting standard without further review.
