Impairment is the estimated loss in value of an asset that represents the difficulty of recovering, through use, sale or other form of disposal of the asset, its full carrying amount. An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment tests are useful since they reveal the need to change depreciation methods, useful life or residual value.
These may derive from sources both external (legal, economic or market changes) and internal (poor asset performance, obsolescence, loss, etc.).
The carrying amount of the asset is compared with the recoverable amount, this being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
They are performed at the end of the financial year or when there are indications of impairment in the value of the assets. In the case of goodwill, impairment testing is mandatory, even if there is no indication of impairment.
