Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed lor Possible reversal al each reporting dale. For the purposes of impairment testing, when il is not possible lo estimate the recoverable amount ol an individual asset, an estimate is made ol the recoverable amount ol the cash- generating unil lo which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment lesling ol goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition dale, allocated lo each ol the cash-generaling units that are expected lo benefit from the synergies ol the combination, irrespective ol whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Flnanclal Instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions ol the inslrumenl.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured al amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured al fair value with changes in lair value recognised in income and expenditure.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence ol impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence ol impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless ol significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually lor impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis ol similar credit risk characteristics.
