Kieso, Intermediate Accounting, 15/e, Solutions Manual (For Instructor Use Only) 11-99 IFRS11-14 (Continued) Note to instructors: An alternative way to make Liberty and Kimco compa- rable is to adjust Kimco’s assets to fair values. This approach could be used to discuss the trade-off between relevance and faithful representation. IFRS11-15 (a) The authoritative guidance for asset impairments is IAS 36: Impairment of Assets. This Standard shall be applied in accounting for the impair- ment of all assets, other than: a. inventories; b. assets arising from construction contracts; c. deferred tax assets; d. assets arising from employee benefits; e. financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; f. investment property that is measured at fair value; g. biological assets related to agricultural activity that are measured at fair value less costs to sell; h. deferred acquisition costs, and intangible assets, arising from an insurer’s contractual rights under insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts; and i. non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (para. 2). This Standard applies to financial assets classified as: a. subsidiaries, as defined in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements; b. associates, as defined in IAS 28 Investments in Associates; and c. joint ventures, as defined in IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. For impairment of other financial assets, refer to IAS 39 (para. 4).
