INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets represent identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance and are acquired either separately through a business combination, or generated internally. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are recorded at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Certain intangible assets, such as trademarks and trade names, have an indefinite useful life. These indefinite life intangibles are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. The assets’ useful lives are assessed at least annually.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with finite useful lives is reported in other expenses and amortization of internally generated software is included in premises and equipment expenses on the consolidated statements of income and recorded on a straight-line basis from the date at which it is available for use as follows:
• Software and related assets: 3 to 15 years • Customer relationships: 10 to 15 years • Non-competition agreements: 4 to 5 years • Other: 3 to 5 years

IMPAIRMENT The carrying amounts of our intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If an indication exists, we test for impairment. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. Impairment testing is performed by comparing an asset’s carrying amount with its recoverable amount. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs will be determined and compared to the carryin g amount of the CGU’s net assets, including attributable goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the level of a CGU or a group of CGUs. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is charged to the consolidated statements of income. The recoverable amounts for our CGUs are calculated based on the higher of their value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows expected to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. Fair value less costs of disposal is the amount obtainable from the sale of a CGU in an orderly transaction between market participants, less disposal costs. The fair value of a CGU is estimated using valuation techniques such as a discounted cash flow method or market-based approaches where the fair value of a CGU is determined using comparable market transactions for similar businesses.
In the 2021 and 2020 annual impairment tests, the recoverable amounts of our CGUs are based on their value in use with the exception of the WM CGU, which is based on fair value less costs of disposal.
