免費(fèi)聽(tīng)課》 8. Goodwill
If a business has goodwill, it means that the value of the business as a going concern is greater than the value of its separate tangible assets. The valuation of goodwill is extremely subjective and fluctuates constantly. For this reason, non-purchased goodwill is not shown as an asset in the statement of financial position.
IAS 36 Impairment of assets applies.
Q7: What are the main characteristics of goodwill which distinguish it from other intangible non-current assets? To what extent do you consider that these characteristics should affect the accounting treatment of goodwill? State your reasons.
