BC209E As a consequence of issuing IFRS 13, the IASB amended some of the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 for the recoverable amount of impaired assets. As described in paragraphs BC209B-BC209D, those amendments resulted from the IASB’s decision to require the disclosure of the recoverable amount of impaired assets and additional disclosures about the measurement of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when the recoverable amount was based on fair value less costs of disposal. The IASB also intended to retain a balance between the disclosures about fair value less costs of disposal and the disclosures about value in use.

BC209F After issuing IFRS 13, the IASB was made aware that one of the amendments that that Standard had made to IAS 36 resulted in the disclosure requirements being more broadly applicable than the IASB had intended. Instead of requiring the disclosure of the recoverable amount for impaired assets, that amendment required the disclosure of the recoverable amount of each cashgenerating unit for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit is significant when compared to an entity’s total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
