Goodwill arises in a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, since goodwill is (currently) not amortized, it is required to be tested for impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. In this CPE-eligible, eLearning course (1.0 CPE) we discuss how to identify a reporting unit and the process for allocating goodwill amongst the various reporting units. Once this allocation is done, we dive into the requirements for testing goodwill for impairment under U.S. GAAP. With over $3.5 trillion of goodwill sitting on corporate balance sheets, this online course is a must for any accounting responsible for financial reporting or auditing U.S. GAAP financial statements!
This is the second course in our 2-part impairment training series.
