    It is, in a way!

    Current assets are shown at a value that represents the lower of two alternative values (cost and net realisable value)

    So, if nrv is below cost, that’s the value at which it shall be shown in the statement of financial position.

    For inventory, simply the inclusion of a reduced value in cost of sales has the affect of impairing any inventory

    For the other main current asset, we create a Provision for non-collectables and that serves as an account to record impairments of accounts receivable

    Ok?

    They used to be called “doubtful debts”. Is that better?
