Question - An entity holds an indefinite-lived intangible asset that it tests annually for impairment under ASC 350 using an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). As part of its assessment procedures, the engagement team identified the following risk of material misstatement related to the valuation assertion:
The revenue projections (i.e., revenue growth rate) used in the discounted cash flow analysis could be unreasonable and result in the entity not recording an impairment that exists.
The risk of material misstatement was not identified as a fraud risk.
