1. PURPOSEOFTHISFRAMEWORK
This National Immovable Asset Maintenance Management Accounting Framework compliments the National Immovable Maintenance Management Standard. The principles of this framework are applicable to the accounting treatment and financial practices relating to the maintenance and renewal of all forms of public sector immovable assets. Notwithstanding this, the specific application of the framework is limited to assets under the custodianship of national and provincial government.
The overarching objective of this accounting framework is the establishment and effective functioning of a system of accounting that fairly presents the value, level of consumption, and current and future asset care needs of immovable asset portfolios. Specific objectives of this Framework include:
a. Describing of the scope of the accounting framework as it applies to immovable assets;b. The adoption of a suitable measurement basis for each accounting group of assets that fairly reflects the value vested in
immovable assets;d. Determining future asset renewal needs, and to adequately provide for future renewal funding needs through depreciation
charges; ande. Ensuring adherence to established principles of accounting with respect to the recognition of assets, measurement and
subsequent treatment of expenditure.

Carrying amount (GRAP) The amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Capital upgrading Enhances the service potential of the asset or the economic benefits that can be obtained from use of the asset and may also increase the life of the asset beyond that initially expected.
Cash-generating assets (GRAP) Assets held with the primary objective of generating a commercial return.Change in accounting estimate (GRAP)
Is an adjustment of the carrying amount of an asset or a liability, or the amount of the periodic consumption of an asset, that results from the assessment of the present status of, and expected future benefits and obligations associated with, assets and liabilities. Changes in accounting estimates result from new information or new developments and, accordingly, are not corrections of errors.

Critical assets (IIMM) Those assets that are likely to result in a more significant financial, environmental and social cost in terms of impact on organisational objectives and service delivery.
Current replacement cost (IIMM)
The cost the entity would incur to acquire the asset on the reporting date. The cost is measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross future economic benefits could be obtained in the normal course of business or the minimum it would cost, to replace the existing asset with a new modern equivalent asset (not a second hand one) with the same economic benefits (gross service potential) allowing for any differences in the quantity and quality of output and in operating costs.
Decommissioning (IIMM) Actions required to take an asset out of service.Deferred Maintenance The portion of planned maintenance work necessary to maintain the service potential of
an asset that has not been undertaken in the period in which such work was scheduled to be undertaken.
Depreciable amount (GRAP) The cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.Depreciated replacement cost (IIMM)
The replacement cost of an asset less accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired economic benefits of the asset.

terminates with the decommissioning of the asset or any liabilities thereafter.Lifecycle asset management Encompasses all asset management strategies and practices associated with an asset
or group of assets that results in the lowest lifecycle cost necessary to achieve stated service requirements within acceptable risk parameters.
Lifecycle cost (IIMM) The total cost of an asset throughout its life including planning, design, construction, acquisition, operation, maintenance, renewal and disposal costs.
Maintenance All actions, planned and unplanned, intended to ensure that an asset performs a required function to a specific performance standard(s) over its expected useful life by keeping it in as near as practicable to its original condition, including regular recurring activities to keep the asset operating, but specifically excluding renewal. Note: Maintenance also specifically excludes restoring the condition or performance of an asset following a recognised impairment event, which would be classified as either renewal or upgrading, depending on the circumstances.
Maintenance of capital Expenditure to ensure that the productive or operating capacity of the asset base is maintained over time. The value vested in capital assets is maintained when the organisation has at least as much capital at the end of the period as it had at the beginning thereof.

Maintenance strategy (IIMM) Identifies the tactics and tools that will be used to deliver the maintenance plan, as well as defining the maintenance roles and responsibilities.
Material (GRAP) Omissions or misstatements of items are material if they could, individually or collectively, influence the decisions or assessments of users made on the basis of the financial statements. Materiality depends on the nature or size of the omission or misstatement judged in the surrounding circumstances. The size of the information item, or a combination of both, could be the determining factor.

3. SCOPE
3.1 FUNCTIONALSCOPE
This framework focusses on the financial and accounting aspects of asset care activities, these being maintenance and renewal, from the planning for and budgeting of maintenance, renewal or replacement, through to recording, reporting, monitoring and evaluation. Specific objectives include:
a. to realistically quantify asset care (maintenance and renewal) needs, both now and in the future;b. to properly plan, budget and spend on asset care in a manner that supports fiscal stability, effective service delivery and a
stable, robust maintenance industry;c. to provide for sufficient depreciation to fund asset renewal; ord. where sufficient funding is not available or is very constrained, to clearly understand the risks and costs associated with
deferred maintenance and renewals.
To achieve the above, this maintenance accounting framework adopts a componentised approach to assets, which requires guidance on the manner in which assets are recognised and measured.

4.1 STANDARDCHARTOFACCOUNTS(SCOA)
SCOA comprises the coding of items used for classification, budgeting, recording and reporting of receipts and payments within the financial system. It serves to facilitate and systematise the recording of all transactions and is directly linked to the Economic Reporting Format (ERF). The coding structure comprises eight segments. A selection must be made from each of these segments when a transaction is recorded in the financial system; i.e. all segments must be used for recording any given transaction.

4.2 ASSETHIERARCHy
4.2.1 The basis for asset identification and measurement is the asset hierarchy that is a framework for segmenting an asset base into appropriate classifications to enable componentisation.

Asset Category Eg.OtherProperty
AssetSub-Category Eg. Other Buildings
Asset Group Type Eg. Offices

Component Type Eg. Lifts

Eg.Upgradeofcabling, motors etc
4.2.2 A component is a specific part of a complex item that has independent physical or functional identity and specific attributes such as different life expectancy, maintenance and renewal requirements and regimes, risk or criticality. A component is separately recognised and measured (valued) in the organisation’s asset register as an unique asset record.
4.2.3 The criteria employed for determining significant asset components are:
a. any component that in its own right meets the criteria for accounting recognition (EUL > 12 months with economic or service potential);
b. coupled with the above, the value of the component itself can be fairly accurately determined; c. its useful life can be distinguished from that of the parent asset; d. the value of the component is material in relation to its parent asset; e. it carries a significant risk profile; f. it is a maintenance significant item; and g. for which there may be specific requirements for significant statutory tests or licensing.
4.2.4 An asset hierarchy structure consisting of six (6) levels applies that identifies asset components, groups them into types of assets (e.g. building elements), combines these into a facility or asset group (e.g. offices), groups facilities into a network or portfolio (e.g. buildings), and slots that network or portfolio into the appropriate category (e.g. other property) under theappropriateaccountinggroupofassets,forexample“Property,PlantandEquipment”,asshowninFigure2.
4.2.5 On this basis, high value and critical assets are broken down into components, and low value, less critical assets may be
grouped.
4.2.6 Each department should construct an asset hierarchy based on the principles described in 4.2.1 – 4.2.5 above, as appropriate to the nature and extent of immovable assets under its control.

4.3 FAIRVALUEBASISOFMEASUREMENTOFASSETS
4.3.1 The fair value of immovable assets can be determined in the following ways:
a. the market approach; b. the cost approach; and c. the income approach.
4.3.2 The market approach is used when the fair value will be readily ascertainable by reference to quoted prices in an active and liquidmarketandisnormallyundertakenbyamemberofthevaluationprofession.Howeveritisnotarequirementthatcosts should be incurred in engaging external valuers for establishing the fair value of assets. This approach shall be applied to:
a. investment property; and b. land assets held under property, plant and equipment,
totheextentthatmarket-basedevidenceisavailable.
4.3.3 The income approach uses discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and (when possible) by external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows. This approach shall be applied to investment property where these is no market based evidence of fair value.
4.3.4 Thecostapproachisusedifthereisnomarket-basedevidenceoffairvaluebecauseofthespecialisednatureoftheasset,in which case an entity may need to estimate fair value using either reproduction cost or depreciated replacement cost. The depreciated replacement cost (DRC) of an item of plant or equipment may be established by reference to the market buying price of components used to produce the asset or the indexed price for the same or a similar asset based on a price for a previous period. Current replacement cost (CRC) is the cost the entity would incur to acquire the asset on the reporting date. The cost is measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross future economic benefits could be obtained in the normal course of business, or the minimum it would cost to replace the existing asset with a new modern equivalent asset with the same economic benefits allowing for any differences in the quantity and quality of output and in operating costs. Depreciated replacement cost is the replacement cost of an asset less accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired economic benefits of the asset. DRC is an alternative fair valuation method allowed for in the accounting standards.
4.4 DEPRECIATEDREPLACEMENTCOSTMETHODOLOGy
4.4.1 The DRC method is considered the most appropriate measurement basis for immovable assets applied for service delivery purposes, for the following reasons:
a. the carrying value of an asset maintains the positive attribute of being a fair representation of the remaining value of the asset, regardless of the length of time that the asset has been in use or will remain in use;
b. the level of depreciation is determined by the current replacement cost of the asset, the expected useful life, and the current condition of the asset. As a result there is at any time sufficient provision for depreciation to fund asset renewal or replacement;
c. the DRC method lends itself to determining asset value, risk exposure and asset renewal needs at the asset component level, thus enabling both asset accounting reporting and asset lifecycle planning;
d. the DRC method is particularly useful when dealing with assets whose initial values or age have not been recorded, or when dealing with assets whose aggregate values cannot easily be compared against market values; and
e. since the DRC method employs condition assessment of assets, it also lends itself to impairment testing at the asset level.

where: CRC: Current Replacement Cost DRC: Depreciated Replacement Cost EUL: EstimatedUsefulLife RUL: RemainingUsefulLife RV: Residual Value
Note: An RV of zero can be used in the above formula to determine the DRC of assets that do not have an RV.
4.4.3 The CRC is the product of an appropriate unit rate and the extent of the component, and represents the cost of replacing the asset. The unit rate is based on the cost of replacing the asset under consideration with a modern equivalent asset which has the same functional capacity.
4.4.4 The depreciable portion of an asset is determined by subtracting the residual value from the CRC. The depreciated replacement cost (DRC) is established by proportionately reducing the depreciable portion based on the fraction of the remaining useful life over the expected useful life.
4.4.5 In the event that the entity must measure (value) an existing for the first time, such as when the asset in question has been transferred to this entity from another entity, but the age of the asset is not known, it still remains possible to calculate DRC. In such a case the condition of the asset is assessed using the asset condition rating scale described in the MaintenancePlanningGuidelineforPublicBuildings.EachconditiongradecarriesanindicativemedianRUL,allowingforcalculation of the DRC, as follows:

4.5 COSTING OF MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
4.5.1 Each entity shall cost the full scope of activities comprising the maintenance function to:
a. understand the true cost associated with asset maintenance; b. budget appropriately for asset maintenance; c. make informed decisions on appropriate service standards and lifecycle strategies, and to d. support the drive towards progressive improvements in efficiency.
4.5.2 Costs assigned to cost objectives are classified as either direct or indirect costs. A direct cost is a cost that can be specifically associated with particular service, function or activity based on actual consumption. It is directly related to the cost objective. Indirect costs are those which are not directly attributable to the output, are often referred to as overheads and are normally incurred for multiple services. Indirect costs need to be apportioned to the cost objective.
4.5.3 EachentityshallemploytheActivity-BasedCosting(ABC)methodologythatmeasurestheboththedirectandindirectcostsof activities associated with the rendering of a service, and assigns cost based on the resources each activity consumes.
4.5.4 The four steps involved in designing an ABC system for asset maintenance are:
a. Identify the work activities performed by people and equipment in relation to asset component type; b. Identify the elements of cost and performance measures; c. Determine the relationships between the various activities and elements of cost; and d. Identify and measure the activity drivers that determine the work load and cause accumulated activity costs to
flow to other activities or to the services.
4.5.5 The work activity identification exercise should be guided by materiality and the objectives of the ABC system. Examples of typical maintenance work activities include:

Close works order Close works order Close works order
4.5.6 Typical elements of maintenance costs are indicated below. The general ledger is typically the source of information about these cost elements, but it does not break those cost elements down by activity performed – this is the purpose of cost accounting, using the ABC methodology to reassign these expenses into activity costs using resource drivers.
a. salaries, employee benefits and overtime; b. staff training; c. protective clothing, d. rental/lease of workshop or depot space; e. vehicles and other specialist capital equipment; f. general tools and equipment; g. parts and other consumables; h. contractors; i. electronic maintenance management system (e.g. annual licensing fees); j. utilities (e.g. water and electricity); k. general administration (including management, customer support center, administrative support, office
stationary, communication expenses etc.); and l. laboratory testing.
Assign the expense data contained in the general ledger to activities. This assignment is determined by the relationships between the various work activities and the elements of cost. The elements of cost or resource pools can be assigned to activities by assigning them in some directly measurable manner (e.g. maintenance via a work order).
4.5.7 Activity drivers are the usage-based variables that explain the behaviour andmagnitude of activity costs. They reflectthe consumption of expenses by activities and the consumption of activities by other activities, products, or services. An example of a cost driver is the number of direct labour hours required to perform the maintenance work.
4.5.8 Withthecostdriversidentified,thenextstepistomeasuretheextentthereof(e.g.thenumberofworkordersforeachcategory and the associated direct labour hours).
4.5.9 The process of cost allocation can be performed once cost drivers have been measured. The value associated with each cost driver must be calculated, and the average cost to perform the defined activity be determined. These values inform the charge out rates used in allocating costs according to the cost drivers in each category of maintenance.
4.5.10Withthecategoriesofmaintenancefunctionsdefinedalongwiththeaccompanyingactivitiesineachcategoryandtheircosts, the unit cost per work order can be calculated. This unit cost can then be utilised to generate the cost allocation for each work order type and provide a more accurate depiction of the maintenance cost associated with each activity.

5. ASSET RECOGNITION
5.1 An immovable item is recognised as an immovable asset if:
a. it is a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events; b. it is probable that future economic or service benefits will flow to the entity, over more than one reporting
period; and c. the item has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.
The general recognition criteria apply to both initial and subsequent recognition.
5.2 Theidentificationofcomponentsformsthebasisfortherecognitionandde-recognitionofimmovableassets.Thesignificantparts of an immovable asset must be identified on initial recognition. The following criteria should be applied:
a each component must meet the criteria for accounting recognition; b. its value is material in relation to its parent asset and can be reliably measured; c. its useful life and/or criticality can be clearly distinguished from that of its parent asset; and/or d. itisasignificantelementofthedepartment’sprevailinglife-cyclestrategyforcapitalrenewal.

6. ASSETMEASUREMENT
6.1 INITIALMEASUREMENT
6.1.1 The general rule is that immovable assets that qualify for recognition are initially measured at cost. The cost of immovable assets is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction.
6.1.2 The following items are elements of cost:
a. its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates;
b. any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Examples of directly attributable costs are:
• costsofemployeebenefits(asdefinedintheStandardofGRAPonEmployeeBenefits)arisingdirectly from the construction or acquisition of the item of property, plant and equipment;• costs of site preparation;• initial delivery and handling costs;• installation and assembly costs;• costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly, after deducting the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing the asset to that location and condition (such as samples produced when testing equipment); • professional fees; and
c. the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
18Maintenance accounting FraMework for immovable assets
6.1.3 Capitalisation of costs ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
6.1.4 Examples of costs that are not to be included in the capital cost of an item of property, plant and equipment are:
a. costs of opening a new facility; b. costs of introducing a new product or service (including costs of advertising and promotional activities); c. costs of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of customers (including costs of staff
training); d. administration and other general overhead costs; e. costs incurred while an item capable of operating in the manner intended by management has yet to be
brought into use or is operated at less than full capacity; f. initial operating losses, such as those incurred while demand for the item’s outputs build up; and g. costs of relocating or reorganising part or all of the entity’s operations.
Refer to Annexure A for an example of determining the cost of immovable assets.
6.1.5 Whereanimmovableassetisacquiredthroughanon-exchangetransactionfromanon-governmententity,itscostmustbemeasured at its fair value as at the date of acquisition.
6.1.6 Thecostofaself-constructedassetisdeterminedusingthesameprinciplesasforanacquiredasset.Thecostofabnormalamountsofwastedmaterial,labourorotherresourcesincurredinself-constructinganassetisnotincludedinthecostofthe asset. Costs incurred to acquire an immovable asset through construction by way of a project that spans over more than one financial year should be accumulated and will be added to determine the cost of the ultimate asset once available for use based on the principles above. During the stage where the capital asset is being constructed, all costs will be shown as capital work in progress.
6.1.7 The allocation of costs to components (“componentisation”) is straight forwardwhere single components have beenestablishedorreplaced.However,forcomplexconstructionprojectscomprisingseveralcomponentsand/orcostelements,the breakdown into components and the method of allocation of the actual total project cost to components is to allocate actual costs by way of a shadow valuation using the DRC methodology.
6.1.8 Constructed assets shall be unbundled from source documents (such as ‘as built’ plans, bill of quantities, project close out reports, project invoices, etc.) by means of the shadow valuation method. In using this method, assets are componentised according to the asset hierarchy and approved unit rates established at the component level. Following determination of the values of the various components, they are adjusted on a pro rata basis to be in line with the actual total cost. Therefore, the components and associated amounts that are recorded in the asset register will not be reflected in the invoices per se, however, the total project costs will agree. Refer to Annexure B for an example of a shadow valuation.
6.2 SUBSEqUENTMEASUREMENT
6.2.1 After initial recognition, measurement of asset classes shall done as follows – note that the measurement model must be consistently applied to the entire class of assets:
19Maintenance accounting FraMework for immovable assets
TABLE3:MEASUREMENTMODELSAPPLIEDTOASSETCLASSES

Revaluation model: DRC e.g. plumbing
Elements with particular historic character
Revaluation model: reproduction cost method
e.g. the sandstone wall of the UnionBuildings
6.2.2 In terms of the revaluation model, the immovable asset will be carried at fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, provided that its fair value can be measured reliably. Revaluations must be done on a regular basis to ensure that the carrying amount of the asset at the end of the reporting period does not differ substantially from the fair value at the end of the reporting period.
6.2.3 The frequency of revaluations depends upon the changes in the fair values of the items of immovable assets being revalued. Whenthefairvalueofarevaluedassetdiffersmateriallyfromitscarryingamount,afurtherrevaluationisnecessary.Ifanimmovableassetisrevalued,theentireclass,or“assetcategory”pertheassethierarchy,towhichthatassetbelongsshallbe revalued.
6.2.4 This approach is especially appropriate to immovable assets that typically have long lives (average of around 50 years) and high values – where the effects of escalation are material.
6.2.5 The advantages of adopting the revaluation method are as follows:
a. more realistic and accurate reporting on the value of the community’s assets, and, in general, improved solvency;
b. more realistic and accurate reflection of the condition of the asset portfolio, and accordingly improved decision- makingonlife-cyclemanagement(suchasmaintenanceandcapitalrenewal);
c. more realistic and accurate reflection of the value of infrastructure being consumed by the community – which better informs assessments of revenue needs and sustainability; and
d. in view of the above, improved transparency.
6.2.6 Based on the above, the revaluation model should be applied as far as possible.

7.1.1 In many instances subsequent expenditure will be incurred on assets following initial measurement.
7.1.2 The impact of any given expenditure on a component recorded in the asset register must be examined. Subsequent expenditure is considered to be capital in nature if it extends the life of a component, or increases its service potential (for example its capacity or performance). All the expenditure that relates to actions to either operate or to enable the asset to achieve its intended useful life of components is expensed.

7.2 DEPRECIATION
7.2.1 The aim of depreciation is to allocate the depreciable amount (original cost less the residual value) of an asset over its useful life (the period during which the depreciable asset will be used) to represent the consumption of assets. The depreciable amount is recovered through use, and the residual value is recovered through sale. The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in surplus or deficit unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.
7.2.2 In order to determine the amount of depreciation that should be realised, the following three aspects should be considered:
a. useful life; b. expected residual value; and c. the method of depreciation.
7.2.3 Depreciation commences from the date on which the asset is available for use (when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management). Depreciation of an asset ceases at the date that the asset is derecognised. Depreciation does not cease when the asset becomes temporarily idle or when it is retiredfromactiveuseandheldfordisposalunlesstheassetisfullydepreciated.However,iftheunit-of-productionmethodof depreciation is applied the depreciation charge can be zero while there is no production.
7.2.4 The following factors are considered in determining the useful life of an asset:
a. the expected usage of the asset, determined by referring to the asset’s expected capacity or physical output; b. the expected physical wear and tear (consumption), which depends on operational factors such as the number
of shifts for which the asset is to be used and the repair and maintenance programme, as well as the care and maintenance of the asset while idle;
c. the technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production, or from a change in the market demand for the product or service output of the asset; and
d .legal or similar limitations on the use of the asset, such as the maturity dates of related leases (normally finance leases).
7.2.5 The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset was already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. If the residual value of an asset is equal to or exceeds its carrying amount at any time, no depreciation will be provided for on that asset unless and until the residual value declines below the carrying amount. The vast majority of immovable assets have negligible or no residual value.
7.2.6 The accounting standards require that the residual value and the useful life of an asset be reviewed at least at each re-porting date. If there is a change to the useful lives or residual values, the annual depreciation charge of the respective
22Maintenance accounting FraMework for immovable assets
immovable assets are adjusted and the assets are depreciated thereafter on the new remaining useful life and/or residual value. For any change in useful lives and residual values a change in accounting estimate should be disclosed in the annual financial statements. Such changes will be effective from the first day after the changes occurred (or prospectively). The opening balance of the accumulated depreciation is not adjusted because of the change in useful life or residual value.
7.2.7 The pattern of consumption is not the same for all assets. As the aim of depreciation is to allocate the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life, it follows that the depreciation method used should reflect the pattern of consumption.

Depreciation can be calculated using a variety of methods, including:
a. thestraight-linemethod; b. the diminishing balance method; and c. the units of production method.
7.2.8 Theassumptionofthestraight-linemethodisthattheassetisusedequallyineachyearofuse.Thereforeanequalamountof depreciation will be allocated to each year over an asset’s useful life. This is usually adopted for assets where the income produced by the asset or its service potential is a function of time rather that usage. This method is particularly applicable to long life assets such as immovable assets.
7.2.9 The diminishing balance method results in a decreasing depreciation charge over the useful life of the asset is calculated on its carrying value at the beginning of the year. The depreciation allocated declines on an annual basis and is used wherethereisuncertaintyaboutthefutureservicepotentialorincomepotentialoftheasset.Whenapplyingthismethodthe information about the technical or commercial obsolescence of the asset is relevant for estimating the pattern of consumption and the useful life of the asset.
23Maintenance accounting FraMework for immovable assets
7.2.10 The units of production method results in a depreciation charge that is based on the expected use or output of the asset. It provides the best approximation of the consumption of economic benefits or service potential but the total production units that the asset can produce in its life time and the total units that the asset can produce per annum must be identified. This method is most applicable to a manufacturing environment where machinery with defined production potential is used.
Refer to Annexure C for examples of the application of the various depreciation methods.
7.2.11 The depreciation method applied to an asset shall be reviewed at least at each reporting date (annually) and, if there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption, the method shall be changed to reflect the changed pattern. A change in the depreciation method shall be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and disclosed as such in the AFS. Such changes will be effective from the first day after the changes occurred (or prospectively).
7.3 IMPAIRMENTTESTING,MEASUREMENTANDRECORDING
7.3.1 Each entity shall review assets for impairment when one of the indicators below occurs or at least at the end of each reporting period. In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, an entity shall consider as a minimum the following indicators:
a. External sources of information:• decline or cessation in demand; • decline in market value;• significantlong-termchangesinthetechnological,legalorgovernmentpolicyenvironment;• the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity is more than its market capitalisation; or• market interest rates have increased during the period, and those increases are likely to affect the discount
rate used in calculating an asset’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially.•
b. Internal sources of information:• evidence of physical damage;• evidence of obsolescence;• significant changes with an adverse effect on the entity have taken place during the period, or are
expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or a manner in which, an asset is used or is expected to be used, including an asset becoming idle, plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date, and reassessing the useful life of an asset as finite rather than indefinite;
• cash flow for maintenance cost of an asset is higher than originally budgeted;• ahalt inconstructioncould indicatean impairment.Whereconstruction isdelayedorpostponedtoa
specific date in the future, the project may be treated as work in progress and not considered as halted; or• evidence that indicates that the performance of an asset is, or will be, significantly worse than expected.
7.3.2 An impairment is recognised where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, i.e. where its value has reduced. In turn, the recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell (the value if the asset were tobesoldtoathirdparty)anditsvalue-in-use(i.e.thevaluetotheentity).
7.3.3 There is however generally not an active market for assets of a specialised nature such as infrastructure and public amenities, and the value to the entity in such an instance is considered likely to be more than the sale value. Consequently, the recoverable amount is considered to be the same amount as the value in use to the entity.

The recoverable amounts are calculated only on those assets where there are indications that impairment losses may have been reversed.
7.4.2 Where there has been a reversal of an impairment loss, the carrying amount is increased to its recoverable amount(providing that it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods).
7.4.3 In assessing whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased, the entity shall consider, as a minimum, the following indications:
a. External sources of information:• resurgence in demand; • increase in market value;• significantlong-termchangesinthetechnological,legalorgovernmentpolicyenvironmentthatwillhave

10.2 MONITORINGANDEVALUATIONOFASSETCAREATBOARDROOMLEVEL
10.2.1 Financial ratio analyses involve the use of ratios and norms in assessing the financial performance and the financial position of an entity. Beyond determining the status quo, they assist an entity to predict, identify, prevent, avoid, and resolve finan-cial problems timeously (early warning mechanisms), but more importantly, supports the entity to make strategic decisions on a more informed, predictive and sustainable basis.
10.2.2 Eachentityshallannuallyconductratioanalysesusingtheratioslistedinthissub-section,reporttheresultsthereofinitsannual report, and consider these results and the norms provided for each ratio in its strategic plan, asset management plan and budget. Refer to Annexure E for examples of ratio analysis.
TABLE 6: ASSET MANAGEMENT RATIOS
RATIO PURPOSE FORMULA NORMAsset consumption ratio
Measures the percentage of asset consumption compared to the CRC of the asset portfolio. The result is indicative of the state of the asset portfolio and risk of a deteriorating asset portfolio for service delivery
40%-60%,depending on performance
standards adopted
Asset sustainability ratio
Establishes the extent to which an entity replaces the assets used
during a period of review in order to maintain service delivery capabilities.
100%whiledemand for the service remains constant, or is
growing (Note 1)
Asset renewal funding ratio
Measures the extent to which asset renewal is accommodated in the long
term financial plan, as identified in the asset management plan
90%-100%(Note 2)
% of PPE and intangible assets impaired
Determines the significance of assets impaired and reduction of future
benefits of the utilisation of assets
0%
Repairs and maintenance as a % of CRC
Measures the adequacy of repairs and maintenance provisions. Considered the best test, as
provisions are directly linked to the asset portfolio
1.8%-2.2%forcivil structures,
depending on portfolio
composition and performance
standards (Note 3) Note 1: Asset sustainability ratio
• If the investment in renewal of assets does not at least equal the consumption of those assets, the entity is likely to experience future reduced service delivery capacity, breakdown in assets and significant increase in repairs and maintenance expenditure.

Note 2: Asset renewal funding ratio• If the target not materially achieved on ongoing basis then there is likely to be implications for future service
standards and financial sustainability. • This ratio is dependent on reliable forecasts of future renewal needs, as expressed in the entity’s asset management
plan(s).
Note 3: Repairs and maintenance as a % of CRC• A ratio below the norm indicates that insufficient monies are being spent on repairs and maintenance to the extent
that it could increase impairment of useful assets.• Anincreasingexpendituretrendmaybeindicativeofhighasset-usagelevels,whichcanprematurelyrequireadvanced
levels of repairs and maintenance or a need for asset renewal. • If an increasing expenditure trend suddenly drops to lower levels without an increase in the fixed asset value, this
may be indicative of challenges in spending patterns. This may be the result of lack of planning, funding constraints or delivery capacity.

IMPAIRMENT
a. The following are examples of indications of impairment:• Cessation, or near cessation, of the demand or need for services provided by the asset:
- Abuildingwhoseprincipaloccupantdoesnotrenewitsoccupancyagreementwiththeresultthatthefacility is expected to close.- Abuildingclosedbecauseofalackofdemandforaccommodationservicesarisingfromapopulationshiftto other areas. It is not anticipated that this demographic trend affecting the demand for the accommodation services will reverse in the foreseeable future.
• A building designed for 1 500 occupants currently has 150 occupants – the building cannot be closed because thenearest alternativebuilding is100kilometres away. ThePMTEdoesnot envisagean increase innumberofoccupants.Atthetimeofestablishmentoccupationwas1400occupants–thePMTEwouldhaveacquiredamuch

• Evidence is available of physical damage of an asset.- Abuildingdamagedbyfireorflood.- Abuildingthatisclosedduetoidentificationofstructuraldeficiencies.- Awater treatmentplantwhose capacityhasbeen reducedbyan intakeblockageand the removalof the blockage is not economical.
• Significantlong-termchanges,withanadverseeffectonthePMTE,intheextenttowhichanassetisused,orisexpected to be used:- Iftheasset isnotbeingusedinthesamewayas itwaswhenoriginallyput intoservice,theassetmaybe impaired. An example of an impaired asset that might be identified by this indication is a training facility that is being used for storage rather than for training purposes.
• A decision to halt the construction of the asset before it is complete or in a usable condition:- Constructionwasstoppedduetoidentificationofanarchaeologicaldiscoveryorenvironmentalconditionsuch as a nesting ground for a threatened or an endangered species; and- Constructionwasstoppedduetoadeclineintheeconomy.
Note - The circumstances that led to the stopping of construction will also be considered. If construction is deferred, that is, postponed to a specific future date, the project could still be treated as work in progress and is not considered as halted.
• Evidence is available from internal reporting that indicates that the service performance of an asset is, or will be, significantly worse than expected:- Theexpenditurereportforabuildingmayindicatethatthebuildingisimpairedbecausethecostofmaintaining the building has significantly exceeded that originally budgeted.
b. Calculation of Impairment loss:
Depreciated replacement cost approach
• Significantlong-termchangewithadverseeffectonthePMTEinthemannerofuse–trainingfacilityusedasstoragefacility: PMTEconstructedatrainingfacilityatacostofR10million.Theestimateduseful lifeofthefacility isfiftyyears.In20X7,thefacility isclosedbecauseenrolmentsdeclinedunexpectedlyduetoapopulationshiftcausedbytheinsolvency of a major employer in the area. The facility is converted to use as a storage warehouse, and management has no expectation that enrolments will increase in the future such that the building would be reopened for use as a training facility. The current replacement cost for a warehouse with the same storage capacity as the school is R4,2 million.
• Evaluation of Impairment Impairment is indicated because the purpose for which the building is used has changed significantly from a place for instructing students to a storage facility, and this is not anticipated to change for the foreseeable future. An impairment loss using Depreciated Replacement cost approach would be determined as follows:

c. Reversal of impairment loss:
Reversal of impairment loss on asset carried at cost

• Attheendof20X18,after17yearsofuse,thegovernmentdecidedtouplifttheregulations.PMTEconsequentlycanoccupy the top four stories. Thus, there is an indication that the impairment loss might be reversed, and consequently thePMTEre-estimatestherecoverableserviceamount.Thecalculationsandrelevantjournalareasfollows:

Note: As the recoverable service amount is more than the carrying amount, the impairment loss will be reversed to increase the carrying amount of the asset, but the increase will be limited to what the carrying amount of the asset would have been if no impairment loss had been recognised.
