    Hi

    Please could you clarify the Journal Entry for the Impairment of an Asset as below:

    Historical Cost 1st Jan 20X5: 100
    Accumulated Depreciation: 20 (10 x 2 years)
    Recoverable amount 1st Jan 20X7: 75

    No previous revaluations or impairments have occurred.

    Some google searches are saying:

    DR Impairment Expense 5
    DR Accumulated Depreciation 20
    CR Non Current Asset 25

    Some are saying

    DR Impairment Expense 5
    CR Accumulated Impairment 5

    Thanking you in Advance!

    Hi,

    There is nothing specific mentioned in the standard. It is usually treated as additional depreciation and so the accumulated depreciation account is commonly used.

    Thanks
