31 October 2012 If the asset has been running for some years, it means the asset were commissioned i.e. removed from CWIP and added to the fixed asset register. Now, if the plant is idle due to internal or external factors then you should test the plant for impairment (under AS 28) and the resulting impairment loss, if any should be charged to the income statmenet. There is no ratinale for downgrading and treating at CWIP which is illogical and against the basic accounting principles.
