Key Audit Matter |
Valuation of the Wireless cash generating unit’s indefinite-life intangibles | |
Description of the Matter |
As more fully described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company conducted its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-life intangibles as at February 1, 2021 and the recoverable amount of the cash generating units exceeds their carrying value. Management performed an assessment of indicators of impairment as at August 31, 2021. Auditing management’s impairment test is complex and judgmental due to the estimation required in determining the recoverable amount of the cash generating units. The recoverable amount was estimated using a discounted cash flow and is sensitive to assumptions such as revenue growth rate, earnings growth rate, earnings before interest, tax and amortization margin, terminal operating discount rate, terminal growth rate and terminal operating income before restructuring costs and amortization multiple. | |
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |
We obtained an understanding of management’s process for performing their impairment assessment. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s processes to determine the recoverable amount. For example, we tested controls over the Company’s strategic planning process as well as controls over the review of the significant assumptions in estimating the recoverable amount of the cash generating units. To test the estimated recoverable amount of the goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the methodology used and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We also involved an EY valuation specialist to assist us. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to historical and current trends. We audited the forecasted revenue by evaluating future subscriber growth, expected customer churn, and average rate per subscriber unit. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses on significant assumptions to evaluate changes in the recoverable amount of the cash generating units that would result from changes in the assumptions. We obtained management’s assessment of indicators of impairment as at August 31, 2021 and evaluated management’s assessment through review of actual results and the updated revenue forecast. We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. |
