NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 December 2023 3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3.6 Impairment (continued) Non-derivative financial assets (continued) Credit-impaired financial assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data: • significant financial difficulty of the debtor; • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due; • the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise; • it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties. Presentation of allowance for ECLs in the Statement of Financial Position Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of these assets. Write-off The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due. Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Total Return. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. A CGU is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows from continuing use that are largely independent from other assets or CGUs. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Total Return unless it reverses a previous revaluation, credited to Unitholders' funds, in which case it is charged to Unitholders' Funds.
