摘要:新会计准则中《企业会计准则第8号——资产减值》的出台，顺应中国经济快速市场化和国际化的需要，以提高会计信息质量为核心，强化为投资者和社会公众提供决策有用会计信息的理念，首次构建了与我国社会主义市场经济相适应的经济框架。旧准则中有关资产减值准备的规定不够具体和完善，既缺乏可操作性，又为企业利用计提减值准备这一手段操纵会计信息提供了迂回的空间。因此，研究长期资产减值的现有规定，并借鉴国际惯例，改进我国的资产减值准备准则，对于提高会计信息质量具有积极的意义。

　　　本文主要通过对资产减值的相关概念、资产减值损失的确认与计量中资产组的认定及其减值处理、商誉的减值测试与处理等具体问题的分析，论述了资产减值的应用对企业及会计专业人员的影响。提出对新形势下新准则的思考和会计人员要加强对职业判断能力的培养和锻炼，加强专业知识与会计相关的经济、财政等知识的学习，不断积累、不断锻炼,成为具有较高理论水平和职业修养的高素质人才。
