Cash-generating units and goodwill (paras. 65-108)
65 Paragraphs 66-108 and Appendix C set out the requirements for identifying the cash-generating unit to which an asset belongs and determining the carrying amount of, and recognising impairment losses for,cash-generating units and goodwill.
Identifying the cash-generating unit to which an asset belongs
66 If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, an entity shall determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs (the asset’s cash-generating unit).
67 The recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be determined if:
(a) the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs of disposal (for example, when the future cash flows from continuing use of the asset cannot be estimated to be negligible); and
(b) the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets.
