In determining whether a group of assets is a CGU, the IFRS Interpretations Committee has confirmed that emphasis is placed on independent cash inflows, rather than net cash flows; therefore, cash outflows in themselves are not relevant. For example, an individual store location with largely independent sales is a CGU., If climate-related factors play a significant role in determining a CGU’s recoverable amount, they must be disclosed. Whenever an impairment loss is either recognised or reversed during a period, paragraphs IAS 36.126-131 introduce further disclosure requirements, including the recoverable amount., We have a case where goodwill arose out of a business combination but management does not monitor goodwill as any specific CGU level. In such a case, we feel it is not necessary to allocate goodwill to any CGU for impairment testing purpose (IAS 36 para 80(a).
