Question for anyone that has dealt with this issue:
As at its transition date, a company will need to review its assets (CGUs) for indicators of impairment. Some of the indicators suggested in IAS 36 refer to “the period”. Some indicators are current – as of that date.

Dear all
Can someone tell me how do you define normal capacity of IAS 2?
In IAS 2, it said that normal capacity is the production expected to
be achieved on average over a number of periods or seasons under
normal circumstances.
I am wondering how to caculate the normail capacity?

months in normal circumstances. so, …

Hello,
Does anyone know where the best place to find
information on capitalizing internal software
development under IFRS?  Any links?  Which IAS/IFRS
standard is this covered under?
Thanks in advance for the help!
