Accounting for the impairment of assets is one of the difficult issues in the preparation of financial statements. However, despite the considerable attention of domestic and foreign accounting science to tangible and intangible assets, the methodological apparatus for analyzing the procedure of asset impairment remains insufficiently developed. Issues that take into account the specifics of the development of the economic environment for the functioning of companies, the state and degree of the accounting and financial reporting system have not been worked out, which requires a comprehensive study of methodological issues of checking assets for impairment. Assessing whether an asset has decreased in value can be highly subjective and impairment can appear as a failure of directors, prompting management to underestimate the impairment loss. An impairment loss could have a material effect on a company's financial statements if the assets are overvalued. The main difficulties lie in recognizing when it is necessary to conduct impairment tests, applying the value in use and determining the cash-generating unit (CGU). In some cases, the application of the standard may be difficult, and therefore companies may inadvertently include distorted data in the reporting. The article discusses the application of the rules for determining indicators of impairment during the coronavirus pandemic. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the principles and procedures of IFRS IAS 36, which apply to the impairment of assets in the form of a right of use. Based on the results of this study, several recommendations have been compiled for accountants who need to conduct an impairment test.

The article is devoted to the study of organizational principles of inventory accounting in the process of innovation, based on the analysis and harmonization of current provisions of the main regulations that regulate inventory accounting and determine the procedure for innovation. Based on the systematization of legislative and normative legal acts, which takes into account the legal force of these normative legal acts and takes into account the powers of the state body that issued the relevant normative legal acts, a hierarchical model of normative legal regulation of accounting of inventories in the process of innovation was developed. This model is based on the regulation of inventory accounting by the state and determines the order of organization and maintenance of inventory accounting directly at the enterprise It is substantiated that the system of state regulation of inventory accounting in the process of innovation includes three levels. The first level includes regulations of higher legal force, which determine the general principles of organization of inventory accounting, its tasks, basic concepts, regulate innovation, regulate the organization and maintenance of inventory accounting in the process of innovation. The second level includes regulations that define the general principles, methodological principles of formation of accounting information on inventories and establish rules and methods of inventory accounting, reflection of inventory transactions in accounting accounts, the procedure for disclosure of information on inventories in financial statements. The third level includes regulations that set out recommendations and clarifications on certain issues of accounting for inventory transactions and control over their availability and preservation, taking into account the specifics of innovation. The content of the main normative documents that regulate the accounting of stocks and determine the basis for innovation at the appropriate levels of state regulation is analyzed. The methodological bases of formation in accounting of the information on stocks and the order of disclosure of the information on stocks in the financial reporting on the basis of national and international regulations are investigated. The study identified some inconsistencies between national and international legislation regarding the organization of accounting of inventories.
