Whenever the realisable/recoverable value of an assets is below its carrying value, this condition in accounting language is called impairment. In such case the asset value shall be reduced by the impairment loss, after incorporating the below entry:

 

Impairment loss                                   Dr

Accumulated impairment loss          Cr

 

The asssets shall be reported in balance sheet at net of any depreciation and impairment loss.
