Impairments and Disposals of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations

The convergence of various macroeconomic and geopolitical factors has created a volatile and uncertain environment in which a business’s ability to forecast results and make decisions can be difficult. Factors that have contributed to such challenges include bank failures or downgrades; businesses’ struggles to raise capital; companies’ announcements of layoffs, broader restructuring plans, impairments, and changes in customer behavior.
