The IASB has clarified the scope of those disclosures as "limited to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is based on fair value less costs of disposal".

The amendments can be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. However, earlier application is permitted for periods when the entity has already applied IFRS 13.
