Effective date of IAS 36 amendments
The IASB issued Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36) on 29 May 2013.
The overall effect of the amendments is to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique.
The amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
