What is the Fair Value for Impairment Test?

Companies must ensure that the carrying amount of their assets is less than or equal to the amount that can be recovered by selling or using them. According to CPC 01 (Brazilian Accounting Committee), when this does not occur, the company must recognize an adjustment for impairment losses.

Thus, companies must periodically perform the impairment test, which for the case of fixed asset is analyzed by comparing the result of the appraisal of the Fair Value of their assets (less sales expenses) vs their book value.

According to CPC 01 – Impairment Test, companies must periodically review (at least once a year), the book values of their assets, comparing them to their appraised values and checking if there is an impairment to be considered.
