ABSTRACT
The term of impairment is usually associated with a long-lived asset that has market which
decreased significantly. An impairment of asset arises when there is a sudden drop in the fair
value of an asset below its recorded cost. PSAK 48 (Revised 2013) states that impairment
occurs when carrying amount exceeds assets recoverable amount. Before that, internal or
external indications of impairment must present and impairment test must be taken to show
that carrying amount of the asset exceeds recoverable amount. Then, we get the reduction of
the carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount known impairment loss. For critical point,
how to account recoverable amount, specially value in use, is in management control. This is
related to the hierarchy of fair value. Next, in PSAK 48, impairment loss can be reversed.
Reversing impairment also occurs when internal or external indications of reversing present.

A. PREFACE
1. Background
The term of impairment is usually associated with a long-lived asset that has market which
decreased significantly. An impairment of asset arises when there is a sudden drop in the fair
value of an asset below its recorded cost. The accounting for asset impairment is to write off
the difference between the fair value and the recorded costknown as carrying amount. Some
impairments can be really large that they cause a significant decline in the reported asset base
and profitability of a business. Impairment only occurs when the amount is not recoverable.
This happens when the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected from the use of asset over its remaining useful life and the final disposition of asset.
Here, PSAK 48 specifies the procedures to ensure that assets are carried at no more than their
recoverable amount.

PSAK
PSAK 48
(Revisi 1998)
An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset or a cashgenerating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. 3
b. Carrying Amount
Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting any
accumulated depreciation (amortisation) and accumulated impairment losses thereon. 4
c. Recoverable Amount for an Assets or Cash Generating Unit
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset or CGUs fair value less costs of disposal
(FVLCOD) and its value in use. 5
d. Fair Value less Cost to Sell
Fair value less costs to sellis the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cashgenerating unit in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties,
less the costs of disposal.6
e. Value in Use
Value in useis the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an
f.
assets.8
6. Recognition
a. Identifying Assets that may be Impaired
If any of indications, some indications that an impairment loss may have occurred, is
present, an entity is required to make a formal estimate of assets recoverable amount. If
not, an entity does not require to make it.
There are two kinds of impairment indication. First is external sourches of information
and the other is internal sourches of information.
External sources of information are including9 :
inflows generated by the five routes together. The cash-generating unit for each route is
the bus company as a whole.
7.Measurement
a. Measurement of an Individual Asset
The recoverable amount of an asset is measured from the HIGHER VALUE of the asset's
fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
1) The asset's fair value less costs of disposal
An asset's fair value less costs of disposal is a price of a binding sale agreement in an
arms length transaction, adjusted for incremental costs that would be directly
attributable to the disposal of the asset.
a) If there is no binding sale agreement but an asset is traded in an active market,
fair value less costs to sell is the assets market price less the costs of disposal.
The appropriate market price is usually the current bid price. 18
b) If there is no binding sale agreement or active market for an asset, fair value less
costs to sell is based on the best information available to reflect the amount that
an entity could obtain, at the end of the reporting period, from the disposal of the
asset in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after
deducting the costs of disposal.19
Fair value less costs of disposal cannot be reduced, however, by including within
costs of disposal any restructuring or reorganisation expenses, or any costs that have
already been recognised in the accounts as liabilities.
2) value in use
The concept of 'value in use' is very important.
The value in use of an asset is measured as the present value of estimated future cash
flows (inflows minus outflows) generated by the asset, including its estimated net
disposal value (if any) at the end of its expected useful life.
The following elements shall be reflected in the calculation of an assets value in use:
a) an estimate of the future cash flows the entity expects to derive from the asset;
b) expectations about possible variations in the amount or timing of those future
cash flows;
c) the time value of money, represented by the current market risk-free rate of
interest;
d) the price for bearing the uncertainty inherent in the asset; and
e) other factors, such as illiquidity, that market participants would reflect in pricing
the future cash flows the entity expects to derive from the asset. 20
Composition of estimates of future cash flows shall include:

In the next year, the government constructed a service road parallel to the high way which
improved the recoverable amount to 1.4 million. Depreciation for this year is 0.12 million.
Carrying amount as at the end of the year is 1.2 million minus 0.12 million or 1.08 million.
The recoverable amount is 1.4 million which shows that the building has to be appreciated by
0.32 million. 0.3 of this amount is to be credited to income statement (because the original
impairment loss routed through income statement was 0.3 million). The additional 0.02
million will be credited to revaluation reserve.
The journal entry would be:
Accumulated Impairment Losses 300,000
Building 20,000
Gain in Value of Building 300,000
Revaluation Surplus 20,000
9. Disclosure of Impairment
PSAK 48 paragraph 126-136 requires more extensive disclosures.
Extensive disclosures includes :
a. Every CGU (or groups of CGUs) containing goodwill or intangible asset with unlimited
lifetime should including:
1) Main assumption and management approach used to measured recoverable amount.
2) Period where managment has projecting cash flow, growth rate, and discount level.
b. The recoverable amount of asset (CGU) and weather recoverable amount of asset (CGU)
is fair value less cost of disposal or value in use.
c. If the recoverable amount is fair value less cost of disposal, entity should disclose the
information of:
1) Hierarchy level based on PSAK 68
2) Appraisal technique description (level 2 and 3)
3) Main assumption (level 2 and 3)
d. If the recoverable amount is fair value less cost of disposal discloses the explanation of
management approach, hierarchy level dan the reason of change in appraisal method.
12. Impairment versus Revaluation
a. Definition
Impairment of a fixed asset occurs when the realizable value of an asset, as shown in the
balance sheet, exceeds its actual value (fair value) to the company. When impairment
occurs, the entity must decrease its value in the balance sheet and recognize a loss in the
income statement.
Revaluation of a company's assets takes into account inflation or changes in fair value
since the assets were purchased or acquired. There must be persuasive evidence to
revalue. The change in value is credited to the revaluation surplus (reserve) account. A
downward revaluation is considered impairment.
b. Review
An impairment, on the other hand, only refers to one of the two; a fall in the market value
which is then written down.
Revaluation can be made upward (to increase the value of the asset to market value) or
downward (to decrease the value).
13
c. Timing
Impairment is when an asset has indications that its carrying value may be in excess of its
recoverable amount.
Revaluation loss tends to happen when the company revalues its assets each year and,
this year, the revalued amount is lower than revalued carrying amount brought forward
less this years depreciation on that brought forward figure.
d. Recognition
Impairment is something which MUST be done where there are indications that an asset
is impaired.
Revaluations tend to be because the company has adopted the fair value model of
accounting for its assets but it is not a requirement in other circumstances
e. Conclusion
An asset that loses its value and needs to be written down is referred to as an impaired
asset.
Revaluation is a technique where an assets recorded value (historical cost value in the
ledger) will be adjusted to the market value.
C. CRITICAL POINT
In our group opinion, PSAK 48 has some weaknesses in reability. To determine the
recoverable value, management will compare which one is higher between fair value less cost to
disposal and value in use from an asset. There is no problem in determining fair value less cost to
disposal because we can get the value in active market. In other side, management should count
the cashflow discount from the time use remains of the asset to determine the value in use.
In the standard, determining of value in use is set as follows:
projections of cash inflows from the continuing use of the asset;
projections of cash outflows that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows
from continuing use of the asset (including cash outflows to prepare the asset for use) and
can be directly attributed, or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis, to the asset;
and
net cash flows, if any, to be received (or paid) for the disposal of the asset at the end of its
useful life.
Although the determination of the estimated cash flow is set up, according to our group
management still has great authority in determining the value in use, it is feared will be a
management tool to measure not the actual conditions.
Measurement of the value in use not the actual conditions done management to avoid high
impairment loss that makes the value of the company is reduced.
D. CONCLUSION
1. PSAK 48 adopts all standard of IAS 36, except agricultural assets carried at fair value (IAS
41) and rule of effective date, transition period, and early applying option, and appendix B of
IAS 36.
2. Impairment occured when internal or external indications is present, and after impairment test
shows that carrying amount of the asset exceeds recoverable amount.
The External sources of information are:
14
during the period, an assets market value has declined significantly more than would be
environment in which the entity operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated.
market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments have increased during
the period, and those increases are likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating an
assets value in use and decrease the assets recoverable amount materially.
the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity is more than its market capitalisation.
