Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for losses in the value of current assets, specifically under Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). It highlights that Ind AS 2 covers inventories, while Ind AS 28 addresses the impairment of other assets, ensuring their carrying amount doesn't exceed their recoverable amount. The conversation also touches upon the differences in impairment testing frequency between Ind AS and older AS.

Loss in value of Current Asset - for which Current Asset 

For Inventory Ind AS - 2 applies

Ind AS - 28 Impairment of Asset deals with with impairment of assets, the carrying amount of the assets should not be more than the recoverable amount of the assets.

But doesn't covers Inventories (Covered in AS – 2)

Assets arising under Construction Contracts (Covered on AS – 7) 

Financial Assets including Investments (Covered in AS – 13) 

Deferred Tax Asset (Covered in AS -22 )

 

Great information. Out of curiosity, I've read Ias 2 indas 2 and as2 which part covers the loss?  Cause i don't want to read the whole thing again. 

Then impairment in AS is choosen unlike indas where carryingamount less accumulated depreciation less impairment losses. On the whole impairment is done annually done in Indas and upon indication in AS.
