Managing Goodwill and Impairment in Financial Reporting
December 10, 2023
How does financial reporting address the treatment of goodwill and impairment?
Financial reporting addresses goodwill by initially recognizing it as an asset during acquisitions. Subsequently, companies assess goodwill for impairment regularly, comparing its carrying value to its recoverable amount. Impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, impacting the income statement and reducing the asset's value on the balance sheet.
