The deterioration of the value of the assets from the perspective of the new Cuban economic model
Keywords:
Impairment of assets, recoverable amount, IAS 36, value in useAbstract
In this paper, criteria are given on the importance of adopting International Accounting Standards in Cuba, specifically International Accounting Standard 36 "Impairment of Assets", which aims to ensure that the assets are accounted for by a non - greater than its fair value and establish how to calculate such value. The general criteria of the Standard are quite clear, but their practical application represents a major challenge for companies facing multiple measurement problems, arising from the complexity of the business and the uncertainties of the economic environments in which they operate. The paper summarizes the requirements of IAS 36 and addresses the most problematic issues that arise when analyzing deterioration, since they must be contextualized according to the guiding documents of the Cuban economic and social model.
