The selection of discount rates is believed to be an important key factor that affects the outcome of impairment assessment, esp ecially when using the method of value in use. | Journal of Economics and Development Vol. 15, , April 2013, pp. 5 - 31 ISSN 1859 0020 Comparison of Discount Rates Disclosure Analysis in Goodwill Impairment Testing among Singapore Listed Firms Dung Manh Tran National Economics University, Hanoi, Vietnam Email: tmdungktoan@ Khairil Faizal Khairi and Nur Hidayah Laili University Sains Islam, Malaysia Email: khairil2207@ Abstract This study presents some evidence of discount rate selection on goodwill impairment testing under the new requirements of FRS 36. The selection of discount rates is believed to be an important key factor that affects the outcome of impairment assessment, especially when using the method of value in use. This study objectively examines the Singapore listed firm’s selection of discount rates disclosed, and then tests and compares the variation between discount rates disclosed by firms for the goodwill impairment testing with independently generated estimates of firm specific risk adjusted discount rates for multi year samples of 2007, 2006 and 2005. In order to achieve the objective of this study, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is chosen because it describes the relationship between risk and expected return and that is used in the pricing of risky securities. For the purposes of this paper, the final research sample consists of 142, 127 and 86 firms that employed the value in use method in goodwill impairment testing and defined only a single discount rate in 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively. The results show most of the firms understated their discount rates for 2005, while in 2006 and 2007 some firms overstated their discount rate when compared with an independently estimated risk adjusted discount rate. The results also indicate that the Singapore listed firms have difficulties in the discount rates disclosure which may in turn limit the decision usefulness of their financial disclosures by potentially diluting the robustness of the impairment .
