The following deficiency was identified: · The firm did not sufficiently evaluate whether the method the issuer used to determine the recoverable amount of the CGU was in conformity with the applicable financial reporting framework including the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 36 Impairment of Assets because it did not evaluate whether the issuer's use of a single CGU to evaluate the intangible asset for possible impairment was appropriate and in accordance with IAS 36.
