Impairment indications


IAS 36-pr9
Two-step approach
Step 1: Impairment indication
Check if there is an indication of impairment

Step 2: Impairment test
Estimate recoverable amount, if there is an indication

IAS 36-pr10
Exceptions
For following assets, Step 2 is applied
regardless of the outcome of Step 1

For these assets,
recoverable amount is estimated annually
to test for impairment,
even if there is no indication of impairment.
