When assessing impairment of investments in accordance with IFRS, entities must determine whether there is an indication that an investment may be impaired. Consider the following scenario:
A company holds an equity investment in another entity that was acquired for $1,000,000. Due to adverse market conditions, the investment's fair value is currently only $700,000. The company has not sold the investment and continues to hold it. What should the company evaluate to determine whether the investment is impaired?
