Impairment of Investments held in AFS - ahsanalpha - 10-17-2011

Kindly confirm the treatment of impairment of Bond held as AFS

Before Impairment (asset is a Bond)
Asset at Fair Value 90
Asset Face Value 100
Fair value deficit (in equity) 10

When impaired entry is made
________________________________________
Impairment expense (In PnL) DR 10
Deficit on fair value (In equity) Cr 10
________________________________________

While the asset is still at 90 and there is no Provisioning liability, if further provisioning is not required.

kindly confirm

when cost assume is 100 and f.v is 90 then deficit will be i profit & loss

Impairment Loss 10 dr.
