Hi, I need help in answering these questions.

You are a recent accounting graduate and have been employed in the Financial Reporting Unit of Myer Holdings Ltd, an ASX listed firm. Preparations are underway for the completion of the general-purpose financial report for the year ended 31st July 2021 and you have been asked by the Chief Financial Officer to identify any major accounting issues which will need to be considered. Your attention is drawn to a media release by ASIC on 31 May 2017 (ASIC Media Release 17-162) and this identifies areas of concern where attention will be directed in the ASIC surveillance program. Not surprisingly given a recent academic paper1 'impairment of assets' receives specific mention.

a) Outline what evidence is there that impairment testing of assets is necessary.

b) The processes required to be addressed in determining any asset impairments that might be necessary

c) The information needed in determining asset impairments

d) Evaluate the flexibility management has available in the determination of asset impairments .
