Which of the following statements regarding IFRS impairment testing for goodwill is false? Group of answer choices If the impairment loss is greater than the book value of goodwill, the cash-generating unit proportionally reduces the carrying value of other assets. The firm reports an impairment loss when the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying value of the cash-generating unit, including goodwill. IFRS requires an impairment test for goodwill whenever there are significant impairment indicators. The firm can perform the fair value measurement for each cash-generating unit at any time during the fiscal year, as long as it uses the measurement date consistently.

Goodwill is an intangible asset that firms report on their respective balance sheet as a result of acquiring other firms. Goodwill has an indefinite life and should not be amortized. It should however be tested for impairment whenever the firms’ financial statements are used for public or are submitted for external financing. In a two-page analysis, 1). Describe the procedures prescribed by both USGAAP and IFRS to test for goodwill impairment and,2). How do these procedures differ from the procedure followed for testing the impairment of a fixed asset or an intangible asset that has a finite life.
Which of the following statements about the recoverable amount used in the IFRS impairment test of a long-lived asset is false? Group of answer choices The recoverable amount is the lesser of the fair value of the asset less costs to sell or the asset's value in use. If an asset's recoverable amount is higher than the carrying amount, no impairment loss will be reported. After recognizing an impairment of an asset, the firm carries the asset at its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount may be calculated as the discounted value of expected future cash flows from the asset.
