Impairment of Assets and Financial Assets

COVID-19 may impact a company’s projected cash flows due to a decrease in demand for its product, supply chain disruptions, or other events. In such situations, a company needs to consider whether the disruption in its business indicates that a “triggering event” has occurred. On account of these events, an impairment assessment is warranted and the assumptions and cash flow forecasts used to test for impairment should be updated to reflect the potential impact of COVID-19. Budgets, forecasts, and other assumptions should reflect the increased risk and uncertainty.

For the purpose of Statutory Audit of FY 2019-2020 and Q1 ending June 2020, Companies are required to provide relevant documentation and records pertaining to assessment of Impairment, and in case any non- compliance is identified, the Audit Report (Standalone and Consolidated) may contain relevant disclosure in this regard.
