Development costs are capitalised in accordance with IAS 38 development criteria. For this reason, these are not regarded as realised losses. Cash generating units (CGUs) Goodwill and intangible assets are allocated to CGUs in order to be assessed for potential impairment. CGUs are defined by accounting standards as the lowest level of asset groupings that generate separately identifiable cash inflows that are not dependent on other CGUs. The Directors have reviewed the continuing applicability of the judgements made in the prior year in determining the CGUs within the Group and in allocating goodwill to these CGUs and are satisfied these judgements remain appropriate. In respect of the IPM business acquired on 1 June 2021 (See Note 34), work to integrate this business into the wider North America Software Resilience CGU is ongoing and at 31 May 2022, the cash inflows relating to this business are considered to be separately identifiable. As such a new CGU has been identified relating to the acquired IPM business. The CGUs and the allocation of goodwill to those CGUs are shown below:
