Session Topic

Impairment lessons that are not being learned

Impairment of non-financial assets regularly tops ASIC’s list of financial-reporting focus areas.  It is the major cause of corporate restatements.  ASIC’s financial-statements surveillance program has described the issues in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, noting where preparers have mis-applied its requirements.  This session will:

  • Identify areas where preparers have struggled with impairment compliance
  • Provide examples of impairment disclosures that have triggered an ASIC enquiry
  • Describe the key requirements of AASB 136 that need to be considered at the reporting date, and
  • Lessons to be learnt from ASIC’s audit-inspection program on the audit of asset values.
