Entity-Wide Assets
Added an example illustrating the impairment assessment for an entity-wide asset.
Foreign Asset Groups and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Including Foreign Currency Translation, in Asset Groups
Clarified that an entity performs the recoverability test in its functional currency even if the books of record of the asset group are not maintained in this currency.
Clarified that it is appropriate to analogize to the guidance in ASC 830-30-45-13 for all items of AOCI when evaluating a foreign asset group for recoverability while it is classified as held and used.
Order of Impairment Testing When an Asset Group Is Held and Used
Addressed clarification in ASU 2016-20 related to order of impairment testing.
Added accounts receivable and inventory to the list of assets that would be tested for impairment before the long-lived asset group is tested for impairment.
Estimates of Future Cash Flows Are Undiscounted and Based on the Entity’s Expected Use of the Asset Group
Clarified that cash flows used in the recoverability test should be based only on facts and circumstances available as of the testing date.
Estimates of Future Cash Flows Should Be Reasonable
Clarified that if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the use of a probability-weighted approach to estimate cash flows may be warranted.
Probability-Weighted and Best-Estimate Cash Flow Approaches
Clarified the circumstances in which an entity should use a probability-weighted approach to estimate cash flows.

Cumulative Translation Adjustments and Other Items of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Costs to Sell
Added guidance clarifying that extinguishment gains or losses or prepayment penalties should not be included in costs to sell.
Depreciation and Amortization
Explained that interest on any related lease liabilities should continue to be accreted, although entities should cease amortization of any ROU assets once the disposal group meets the held-for-sale criteria.
Assets to Be Abandoned
Incorporated additional (1) guidance on the revision of depreciation estimates when an asset is planned to be abandoned and (2) considerations related to situations in which fair value may approximate zero.
Nonmonetary Exchange
Clarified that if a nonmonetary exchange does not meet any of the conditions in ASC 845-10-30-3 and is accounted for at fair value, the disposal should be assessed as a sale transaction and the disposal group should be classified as held for sale when the criteria are met.
Spin-Offs and Other Nonmonetary Exchanges Recorded at Carrying Amount
Clarified the definition of a nonreciprocal transfer as well as guidance related to nonreciprocal transfers that are not spin-offs.
Strategic Shift That Has (or Will Have) a Major Effect
