Impairment Loss

Impairment loss occurs when an asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. It represents a permanent reduction in the value of an asset due to factors such as market decline, obsolescence, or physical damage. Accounting standards require businesses to test assets regularly for impairment to ensure accurate financial reporting.
