我以前对这个问题也没搞清楚,后来翻了下原版书,这是我的笔记,希望对你有用。
在GAAP下,Inventory减值是增加COGS的,并且减值不允许回转。【 Any write-down reduces the value of the inventory, and the loss in value (expense) is generally reflected in the income statement in cost of goods sold.

】
而在IFRS下,Inventory减值是计入expense的,回转时减少COGS。【The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventory arising from an increase in net realisable value is recognised as a reduction in cost of sales (a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense).

如果是减值后,在IFRS下,公司自身前后的gross profit的比较的话,因为减值相关金额计入expense的增加,而对COGS不产生影响,所以gross profit是相同的;因为在GAAP中,减值是计COGS增加,从而导致gross profit减少。
