Objective of the workpaper

Determine fair value less costs of disposal (only incremental costs not recognised as liabilities), project the value-in-use cash flows for the asset in its current condition (without uncommitted restructuring, financing or tax), discount them at the pre-tax rate, retain the higher of the two amounts and document the key assumptions.

  • Costs excluded from fair value less costs of disposal (termination benefits, subsequent reorganisation)

    Table

  • Net cash flow of year 1 (current condition, before financing and tax; net disposal flow included in the final year)

    Number

  • Discount period of year 1 (in years from the test date)

    Number

  • Net cash flow of year 2 (current condition, before financing and tax; net disposal flow included in the final year)

    Number

  • Value in use retained (sum of the present values below, or amount provided by the valuer)

    Number

    480,000

    Enter the sum of the present values calculated; the check verifies that it equals them when the cash flows are detailed.

Composition of the value-in-use cash flows

Analysis

IAS 36 §30IAS 36 §31IAS 36 §33IAS 36 §34IAS 36 §35IAS 36 §39IAS 36 §41IAS 36 §43IAS 36 §44IAS 36 §50IAS 36 §52

  • Checks on the projected cash flows

    ChecklistRequired

    • Most recent approved budgets, detailed horizon of five years at most unless justified
    • Past differences between forecasts and actual flows analysed
    • Inflows from use and necessary outflows, including maintenance and attributable overheads
    • Receivables and liabilities already recognised excluded
    • Asset in its current condition: uncommitted restructuring and enhancements excluded
    • Financing and income tax flows excluded
    • Net disposal flow at the end of the useful life included, net of costs of disposal

    Cash flows and the rate rest on consistent assumptions: an excluded flow (financing, tax) is already reflected in the pre-tax rate (paras. 50 and 51).

Fair value less costs of disposal

Analysis

IAS 36 §18IAS 36 §19IAS 36 §20IAS 36 §28

  • Checks on fair value less costs of disposal

    Checklist

    • Only incremental costs not recognised as liabilities are deducted
    • Termination benefits and reorganisation following the disposal excluded
    • A single measure is enough if it already exceeds the carrying amount
    • Fair value not reliably measurable: value in use retained
