Which of the following statements regarding IFRS impairment testing for goodwill is false? Group of answer choices 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.

IFRS requires an impairment test for goodwill whenever there are significant impairment indicators. 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.
