In the realm of finance, understanding the economic value of assets and their potential income generation is critical. At IBIACO, our value-in-use assessment services provide essential insights into the present value of future cash flows that assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) are expected to generate.
What is Value-In-Use Assessment?
Value-in-use assessment is a specialized process that estimates the current worth of future cash flows an asset or CGU will generate. This evaluation is crucial for impairment testing under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), helping businesses determine if an asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount.
Importance of Value-In-Use Assessment:
- Accurate Financial Reporting: Ensures assets are correctly valued on financial statements, reflecting their true economic worth rather than overstated values that can distort financial health.
- Strategic Decision-Making: Facilitates informed decisions on whether to retain, divest, or impair assets based on their economic potential, aiding in effective resource allocation.
- Impairment Testing: Complies with IFRS guidelines by identifying assets that may require impairment due to their carrying value surpassing their recoverable amount.
Why Conduct a Value-In-Use Assessment?
- Revenue Potential: Estimating an asset's fair value based on anticipated revenue streams over its remaining useful life.
- Strategic Planning: Supports decisions related to asset management, segment evaluation, and business unit analysis, aligning with broader strategic goals.
- Impairment Testing: Ensures compliance with accounting standards (IAS 36) by accurately assessing impairments and adjustments.
