Significant financial events 2023
Auditors from BDO’s wording:
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has previously noted in a public report that it is sceptical when an entity states that it has determined that no impairment exists when its market capitalisation is lower than the carrying amount of its listed equity instruments.
The market capitalisation of an entity represents strong external evidence of the value that market participants place on an entity, and therefore its fair value. Consequently, an entity would need to be able to assert that its value in use exceeds its fair value to avoid recording an impairment. (see letter of ceo for company statement)
