What does it mean for listed companies to accrue asset impairment?

Asset impairment provision means that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its book value, and the difference is treated as a loss or offset from the company's profits. There are generally the following reasons for asset impairment: it may be that the market price of fixed assets continues to fall, or it may be that the technology is outdated, damaged or left idle for a long time.

Under normal circumstances, provision for asset impairment will generally affect the normal operation of enterprises, which may lead to a decline in corporate profits and an increase in audit risks, so this is not good.
