Impairment testing: goodwill impairment and intangible impairment under US GAAP (ASC 350) or IFRS (IAS 36). Method selects the formula. Use for annual or triggering-event impairment testing; goodwill_impairment compares a reporting unit's carrying value with its fair value. To compute the initial goodwill or allocation use valuation_goodwill_ppa; for the underlying asset fair values use the relevant asset-type tool. Per method: goodwill_impairment needs carrying_value + fair_value (optional: reporting_unit, standard); intangible_impairment needs carrying_value (optional: fair_value, recoverable_amount, standard). fair_value is required for ASC350; recoverable_amount is required for IAS36. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent — supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rates and premiums are decimals (0.10 = 10%). Pure arithmetic: no I/O and no external calls, rounded to 2 decimals; parameters belonging to other methods are accepted and ignored. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| method | string | yes | Formula to apply. Options: goodwill_impairment = Impairment = carrying value - fair value (if positive).; intangible_impairment = Impairment of an intangible under ASC 350 or IAS 36. |
| carrying_value | number | no | Carrying value of the reporting unit or asset, in currency units. |
| fair_value | number | no | Fair value of the reporting unit or asset, in currency units. |
| reporting_unit | string | no | Reporting unit name (goodwill only). |
| standard | string | no | Accounting standard: ASC350 for US GAAP, IAS36 for IFRS. |
| recoverable_amount | number | no | Recoverable amount (IAS 36), in currency units. |
