An impairment loss for a CGU is allocated first to any goodwill and then pro rata to other assets in the CGU that are in the scope of IAS 36. However, no asset is written down to below its known recoverable amount.
Unlike IFRS Accounting Standards, any impairment loss that results from the goodwill impairment test is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, a CGU is evaluated as a whole (i.e. the goodwill and all other assets), which can lead to differences in the measurement of impairment compared to US GAAP.
If goodwill arises from a business combination in the current annual period, the CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated need to be tested for impairment during that annual period.
However, if the acquisition accounting is provisional , it may not be possible to finish allocating goodwill to CGUs before the end of the annual period in which the business combination occurred. Judgment is required when the allocation process is not yet complete, but there is an indication of impairment in a CGU to which goodwill is expected to be allocated. In that case, in our view it is appropriate to test the goodwill for impairment based on a provisional allocation.
NCI can be measured either at fair value (like US GAAP) or based on their proportionate interest in the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (unlike US GAAP) at the date of acquisition
If NCI were initially measured based on their proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, then the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to such a CGU or group of CGUs is grossed up to include the unrecognized goodwill attributable to the NCI. For impairment testing purposes, it is this adjusted carrying amount that is compared with the recoverable amount. This gross-up is not required if NCI were initially measured at fair value. If NCI is measured at fair value, any goodwill impairment loss is fully recognized and allocated between the parent and NCI using a rational basis (generally the same basis as profit or loss allocation).
NCI is always measured at fair value on the date of the business combination. Unlike IFRS Accounting Standards, the carrying amount of goodwill does not need to be grossed up for impairment testing because it is fully recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Any goodwill impairment loss is recognized for both the parent and NCI, and allocated between both on a rational basis.
The IASB has undertaken a goodwill and impairment project 8 which includes proposals to:
potentially allow the use of post-tax cash flows and discount rate model.
The IASB and the FASB considered, but ultimately abandoned a proposal to permit entities 1 to amortize goodwill.
IFRS Accounting Standards and US GAAP have fundamentally different approaches to identifying and measuring goodwill impairment. This often leads to very different reported results, particularly during challenging economic times. With its emphasis on cash-generating units, IFRS Accounting Standards typically require testing for impairment at a lower level than US GAAP, which may increase the likelihood that impairment will be identified. However, once impairment is identified, the concept of value in use under IFRS Accounting Standards may result in smaller impairment losses. Users of financial statements should consider these key differences when comparing financial results of similar companies.

According to ifrs® 3, business combinations , there are two ways to measure the goodwill that arises on the acquisition of a subsidiary and each has a slightly different impairment process., how to calculate goodwill, consider calculating goodwill, basic principles of impairment, consider an impairment review, goodwill and impairment, proportionate goodwill and the impairment review, consider an impairment review of proportionate goodwill, gross goodwill and the impairment review, consider an impairment review of gross goodwill, observation.
This article discusses and shows both ways of measuring goodwill following the acquisition of a subsidiary, and how each measurement of goodwill is subject to an impairment review.
The traditional measurement of goodwill on the acquisition of a subsidiary is the excess of the fair value of the consideration given by the parent over the parent’s share of the fair value of the net assets acquired. This method can be referred to as the proportionate method. It determines only the goodwill that is attributable to the parent company. Another method of measuring goodwill on the acquisition of the subsidiary is to compare the fair value of the whole of the subsidiary (as represented by the fair value of the consideration given by the parent and the fair value of the non controlling interest) with all of the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired. This method can be referred to as the gross or full goodwill method. It determines the goodwill that relates to the whole of the subsidiary, ie goodwill that is both attributable to the parent’s interest and the non-controlling interest (NCI).

Borough acquires an 80% interest in the equity shares of High for consideration of $500. The fair value of the net assets of High at that date is $400. The fair value of the NCI at that date (ie the fair value of High’s shares not acquired by Borough) is $100. Required
(1) Calculate the goodwill arising on the acquisition of High on a proportionate basis.
(2) Calculate the gross goodwill arising on the acquisition of High, ie using the fair value of the NCI.
(1) The proportionate goodwill arising is calculated by matching the consideration that the parent has given, with the interest that the parent acquires in the net assets of the subsidiary, to give the goodwill of the subsidiary that is attributable to the parent.
Parent’s cost of investment at the fair value of consideration given | $500 | ||
Less the parent’s share of the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired | (80% x $400) | ||
Goodwill attributable to the parent | $180 |
(2) The gross goodwill arising is calculated by matching the fair value of the whole business with the whole fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary to give the whole goodwill of the subsidiary, attributable to both the parent and to the NCI.
Parent’s cost of investment at the fair value of consideration given | $500 | ||
Fair value of the NCI | $100 | ||
Less the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired | (100% x $400) | ||
Gross goodwill | $200 |
Given a gross goodwill of $200 and a goodwill attributable to the parent of $180, the goodwill attributable to the NCI is the difference of $20. In these examples, goodwill is said to be a premium arising on acquisition. Such goodwill is positive goodwill and accounted for as an intangible asset in the group financial statements, and as we shall see be subject to an annual impairment review. In the event that there is a bargain purchase, ie negative goodwill arises, then this is regarded as a profit and immediately recognised in income.
An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is, in turn, defined as the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use; where the value in use is the present value of the future cash flows. An impairment review calculation looks like this. This is the carrying amount, ie the figure that the asset is currently recorded at in the financial statements.
A company has an asset that has a carrying amount of $800. The asset has not been revalued. The asset is subject to an impairment review. If the asset was sold then it would sell for $610 and there would be associated selling costs of $10. (The fair value less costs to sell of the asset is therefore $600.) The estimate of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the asset if it were kept is $750. (This is the value in use of the asset.) Required Determine the outcome of the impairment review. Solution An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, where the recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. In this case, with a fair value less cost to sell of only $600 and a value in use of $750 it both follows the rules, and makes common sense to minimise losses, that the recoverable amount will be the higher of the two, ie $750.

The impairment loss must be recorded so that the asset is written down. There is no accounting policy or choice about this. In the event that the recoverable amount had exceeded the carrying amount then there would be no impairment loss to recognise and as there is no such thing as an impairment gain, no accounting entry would arise. As the asset has never been revalued, the loss has to be charged to income. Impairment losses are non-cash expenses, like depreciation, so in the cash flow statement they will be added back when reconciling operating profit to cash generated from operating activities, just like depreciation again. Assets are generally subject to an impairment review only if there are indicators of impairment. IAS ® 36, Impairment of Assets lists examples of circumstances that would trigger an impairment review. External sources

The asset of goodwill does not exist in a vacuum; rather, it arises in the group financial statements because it is not separable from the net assets of the subsidiary that have just been acquired. The impairment review of goodwill therefore takes place at the level of a cash-generating unit, that is to say a collection of assets that together create an independent stream of cash. The cash-generating unit will normally be assumed to be the subsidiary. In this way, when conducting the impairment review, the carrying amount will be that of the net assets and the goodwill of the subsidiary compared with the recoverable amount of the subsidiary. When looking to assign the impairment loss to particular assets within the cash generating unit, unless there is an asset that is specifically impaired, it is goodwill that is written off first, with any further balance being assigned on a pro rata basis. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary is subject to an annual impairment review. This requirement ensures that the asset of goodwill is not being overstated in the group financial statements. Goodwill is a peculiar asset in that it cannot be revalued so any impairment loss will automatically be charged against income. Goodwill is not deemed to be systematically consumed or worn out thus there is no requirement for a systematic amortisation.
When goodwill has been calculated on a proportionate basis then for the purposes of conducting the impairment review it is necessary to gross up goodwill so that in the impairment review goodwill will include an unrecognised notional goodwill attributable to the NCI. Any impairment loss that arises is first allocated against the total of recognised and unrecognised goodwill in the normal proportions that the parent and NCI share profits and losses. Any amounts written off against the notional goodwill will not affect the consolidated financial statements and NCI. Any amounts written off against the recognised goodwill will be attributable to the parent only, without affecting the NCI. If the total amount of impairment loss exceeds the amount allocated against recognised and notional goodwill, the excess will be allocated against the other assets on a pro rata basis. This further loss will be shared between the parent and the NCI in the normal proportion that they share profits and losses.
At the year-end, an impairment review is being conducted on a 60%-owned subsidiary. At the date of the impairment review the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s net assets were $250 and the goodwill attributable to the parent $300 and the recoverable amount of the subsidiary $700. Required Determine the outcome of the impairment review. Solution In conducting the impairment review of proportionate goodwill, it is first necessary to gross it up.
Swipe to view table
Proportionate goodwill | Grossed up | Goodwill including the notional unrecognised NCI |
---|---|---|
$300 x | 100/60 = | $500 |
Now, for the purposes of the impairment review, the goodwill of $500 together with the net assets of $250 form the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit.
Carrying amount | |
---|---|
Net assets | $250 |
Goodwill | |
$750 | |
Recoverable amount | |
Impairment loss | $50 |
The impairment loss does not exceed the total of the recognised and unrecognised goodwill so therefore it is only goodwill that has been impaired. The other assets are not impaired. As proportionate goodwill is only attributable to the parent, the impairment loss will not impact NCI. Only the parent’s share of the goodwill impairment loss will actually be recorded, ie 60% x $50 = $30. The impairment loss will be applied to write down the goodwill, so that the intangible asset of goodwill that will appear on the group statement of financial position will be $270 ($300 – $30). In the group statement of financial position, the accumulated profits will be reduced $30. There is no impact on the NCI. In the group statement of profit or loss, the impairment loss of $30 will be charged as an extra operating expense. There is no impact on the NCI.
Where goodwill has been calculated gross, then all the ingredients in the impairment review process are already consistently recorded in full. Any impairment loss (whether it relates to the gross goodwill or the other assets) will be allocated between the parent and the NCI in the normal proportion that they share profits and losses.
At the year-end, an impairment review is being conducted on an 80%-owned subsidiary. At the date of the impairment review the carrying amount of the net assets were $400 and the gross goodwill $300 (of which $40 is attributable to the NCI) and the recoverable amount of the subsidiary $500. Required Determine the outcome of the impairment review. Solution The impairment review of goodwill is really the impairment review of the net asset’s subsidiary and its goodwill, as together they form a cash generating unit for which it is possible to ascertain a recoverable amount.
Carrying amount | |
---|---|
Net assets | $400 |
Goodwill | |
$700 | |
Recoverable amount | |
Impairment loss | $200 |
The impairment loss will be applied to write down the goodwill, so that the intangible asset of goodwill that will appear on the group statement of financial position, will be $100 ($300 – $200). In the equity of the group statement of financial position, the accumulated profits will be reduced by the parent’s share of the impairment loss on the gross goodwill, ie $160 (80% x $200) and the NCI reduced by the NCI’s share, ie $40 (20% x $200). In the statement of profit or loss, the impairment loss of $200 will be charged as an extra operating expense. As the impairment loss relates to the gross goodwill of the subsidiary, so it will reduce the NCI in the subsidiary’s profit for the year by $40 (20% x $200).
In passing, you may wish to note an apparent anomaly with regards to the accounting treatment of gross goodwill and the impairment losses attributable to the NCI. The goodwill attributable to the NCI in this example is stated as $40. This means that goodwill is $40 greater than it would have been if it had been measured on a proportionate basis; likewise, the NCI is also $40 greater for having been measured at fair value at acquisition. The split of the gross goodwill between what is attributable to the parent and what is attributable to the NCI is determined by the relative values of the NCI at acquisition to the parent’s cost of investment. However, when it comes to the allocation of impairment losses attributable to the write off of goodwill then these losses are shared in the normal proportions that the parent and the NCI share profits and losses, ie in this case 80%/20%. This explains the strange phenomena that while the NCI are attributed with only $40 out of the $300 of the gross goodwill, when the gross goodwill was impaired by $200 (ie two thirds of its value), the NCI are charged $40 of that loss, representing all of the goodwill attributable to the NCI.

How to test if impairment of goodwill is required, what amount should be recorded as an impairment loss, example of a goodwill impairment, additional resources, goodwill impairment accounting.
Reducing the value of goodwill down to its fair market value
Goodwill is acquired and recorded on the books when an acquirer purchases a target for more than the fair market value of the target’s net assets (assets minus liabilities). Per accounting standards, goodwill is recorded as an intangible asset and evaluated periodically for any possible impairment in value.
Private companies in the US may elect to expense goodwill periodically on a straight-line basis over a ten-year period or less, reducing the asset’s recorded value. This charge is called amortization expense.
Companies should assess whether or not an adjustment for impairment to goodwill is needed each fiscal year. This impairment test may have a substantial financial impact on the income statement, as it will be charged directly as an expense on the income statement. In some cases, goodwill may be completely written off and removed from the balance sheet.
In accordance with both GAAP in the United States and IFRS in the European Union and elsewhere, goodwill is typically not subject to amortization. In order to accurately report its value from year to year, companies perform an impairment test. Impairment losses are, in theory, non-recurring expenses, as opposed to amortization, which reoccurs over time.
Companies need to perform impairment tests annually or whenever a triggering event causes the fair market value of goodwill to drop below its carrying value. Some triggering events that may result in impairment are adverse changes in the economy’s general condition, increased competitive environment, legal implications, changes in key personnel, declining cash flows or a situation where assets show a pattern of declining market value.
There are two methods commonly used to test for impairment to goodwill:
Business assets should be properly measured at their fair market value before testing for impairment. If goodwill has been assessed and identified as being impaired, the full impairment amount must be immediately written off as a loss. An impairment is recognized as a loss on the income statement and as a reduction in the goodwill account on the balance sheet.
The amount that should be recorded as a loss is the difference between the goodwill’s current fair market value and its carrying value or amount (i.e., the amount equal to the asset’s recorded cost on the balance sheet). The maximum impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying amount – in other words, the asset’s value cannot be reduced below zero or recorded as a negative number.
Here is an example of goodwill impairment and its impact on the balance sheet , income statement , and cash flow statement .
Company BB acquires the assets of company CC for $15M, valuing its assets at $10M and recognizing goodwill of $5M on its balance sheet. After a year, company BB tests its assets for impairment and finds out that company CC’s revenue has been declining significantly. As a result, the current value of company CC’s assets has decreased from $10M to $7M, having an impairment to the assets of $3M. This makes the value of the asset of goodwill drop down from $5M to $2M.
Goodwill reduces from $5M to $2M.
An impairment charge of $3M is recorded, reducing net earnings by $3M.
The impairment charge is a non-cash expense and added back into cash from operations. The only change to cash flow would be if there were a tax impact, but that would not normally be the case, as impairments are generally not tax-deductible.

Goodwill impairment is an accounting charge that companies record when goodwill’s carrying value on financial statements exceeds its fair value. In accounting, goodwill is recorded after a company acquires assets and liabilities , and pays a price in excess of their identifiable net value.
Goodwill impairment arises when there is a deterioration in the capabilities of acquired assets to generate cash flows, and the fair value of the goodwill dips below its book value .
Michela Buttignol / Investopedia
Goodwill impairment is an earnings charge that companies record on their income statements after they identify that there is persuasive evidence that the asset associated with the goodwill can no longer demonstrate financial results that were expected from it at the time of its purchase.
Goodwill is an intangible asset commonly associated with the purchase of one company by another. Specifically, goodwill is recorded in a situation in which the purchase price is higher than the net of the fair value of all identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed in the process of an acquisition . The value of a company’s brand name, solid customer base, good customer relations, good employee relations, and any patents or proprietary technology represent some examples of goodwill.
Because many companies acquire other firms and pay a price that exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities that the acquired firm possesses, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of acquired assets is recorded as goodwill. However, if unforeseen circumstances arise that decrease expected cash flows from acquired assets, the goodwill recorded can have a current fair value that is lower than what was originally booked, and the company must record a goodwill impairment.
Goodwill impairment became an issue during the accounting scandals of 2000–2001. Many firms artificially inflated their balance sheets by reporting excessive values of goodwill, which was allowed at that time to be amortized over its estimated useful life. Amortizing an intangible asset over its useful life decreases the amount of expense booked related to that asset in any single year.
While bull markets previously overlooked goodwill and similar manipulations, the accounting scandals and change in rules forced companies to report goodwill at realistic levels. Current accounting standards require public companies to perform annual tests on goodwill impairment, and goodwill is no longer amortized.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require companies to review their goodwill for impairment at least annually at a reporting unit level. Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic conditions, increased competition, loss of key personnel, and regulatory action.
The definition of a reporting unit plays a crucial role during the test; it is defined as the business unit that a company’s management reviews and evaluates as a separate segment. Reporting units typically represent distinct business lines, geographic units, or subsidiaries.
The basic procedure governing goodwill impairment tests is set out by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in “Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) : Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.”
Perhaps the most famous goodwill impairment charge was the $54.2 billion reported in 2002 for the AOL Time Warner Inc. merger. This was, at the time, the largest goodwill impairment loss ever reported by a company.
Companies record goodwill impairment as an earnings charge on their income statements. This happens after they identify persuasive evidence that the asset associated with the goodwill can no longer demonstrate financial results expected from it at the time of its purchase.
Goodwill is an intangible asset that is recorded when one company is purchased by another. It is the portion of the purchase price that is higher than the sum of the net fair value of all of the assets purchased in the acquisition and the liabilities assumed in the process.
In the U.S., generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require companies to review their goodwill for impairment at least once a year at a reporting unit level. Catalysts for goodwill impairment include increased competition, economic deterioration, loss of key personnel, and regulatory action.
Goodwill impairment is an accounting charge incurred when the fair value of goodwill drops below the previously recorded value from the time of an acquisition. Goodwill in accounting is recorded after a company acquires assets and liabilities, and pays a price in excess of their identifiable net value.

When admitting a new partner to a partnership a lot of accounting adjustments need to be made. One such major adjustment is the valuation and the treatment of goodwill. Let us take a look.
M eaning of goodwill.
Goodwill is the value of the reputation of a firm built over time with respect to the expected future profits over and above the normal profits. A well-established firm earns a good name in the market , builds trust with the customers and also has more business connections as compared to a newly set up business . Thus, the monetary value of this advantage that a buyer is ready to pay is termed as Goodwill.
The buyer who pays expects that he will be able to earn super profits as compared to the profits earned by the other firms. Thus, it can be said that goodwill exists only in case of firms making super profits and not in case of firms earning normal profits or losses. It is an intangible real asset which cannot be seen or felt but exists in reality and can be bought and sold.
In the context of a partnership firm , the need for valuation of goodwill arises at the time of:
(Source: assignmentpoint)
1] average profits method.
i) Simple Average: Under this method, it is valued at agreed number of years’ of purchase of the average profits of the past years.
Goodwill = Average Profit × No. of years’ of purchase
ii) Weighted Average: Under this method, it is valued at agreed number of years’ of purchase of the weighted average profits of the past years. The weighted average is used when there exists an increasing or decreasing trend in the profits. Highest weight is given to the current year’s profit.
Goodwill = Weighted Average Profit × No. of years’ of purchase
Under this method, valued at agreed number of years’ of purchase of the super profits of the firm.
Goodwill = Super Profit × No. of years’ of purchase
Super Profit = Actual/ Average profit – Normal Profit
Normal Profit = Capital Employed * Normal Rate of Return / 100
(i) Capitalization of Average Profits: Under this method, the value of goodwill is calculated by deducting the actual capital employed from the capitalized value of the average profits on the basis of a normal rate of return.
Goodwill = Capitalized Average profits – Actual Capital Employed
Capitalized Average profits = Average Profits × 100 / Normal Rate of Return
Actual Capital Employed = Total Assets (excluding goodwill) – Outside Liabilities
(ii). Capitalization of Super Profits: Under this method, it is calculated by capitalizing the super profits directly.
Goodwill = Super Profits × 100/ Normal Rate of Return
When the value of goodwill is not given at the time of admission of a new partner, it has to be derived from the arrangement of the capital and the profit sharing ratio and is known as hidden goodwill.
For example, A and B are partners sharing profits equally with capitals of Rs.50,000 each. They admitted C as a new partner for one-third share in the profit. C brings in Rs.60,000 as his capital. Based on the amount brought in by C and his share in profit, the total capital of the newly constituted firm works out to be Rs.1,80,000 (Rs. 60,000 × 3).
But the actual total capital of A, B and C is Rs.1,60,000 (50,000 + 50,000+ 60,000). Hence, it can be said that the difference is on account of goodwill,i.e., Rs.20,000 (1,80,000 – 1,60,000).
Q: M/s Mehta and sons earn an average profit of rupees 60,000 with a capital of rupees 4,00,000. The normal rate of return in the business is 10%. Using capitalization of super profits method, calculate the value the goodwill of the firm.
Goodwill = Super profits × 100/ Normal Rate of Return
= 20,000 × 100/10
= 2,00,000.
Working notes:
(i). Normal Profit = Capital employed * Normal Rate of Return/100
= 4,00,000 × 10/100
(ii) Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit
= 60,000 – 40,000

We have a partnership firm with three partners without any immovable property. Our partnership ratios are 46%, 34% and 20%. The partnership is at will. Now the 34% partner has decided to move on without any immovable property. Retirement Deed has been signed too and the goodwill amount is already paid. This results in Reconstitution of the firm including the retirement of a partner and change in the partnership ratio of the two continuing partners (74% and 26% respectively).

Any impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount. Upon adoption of ASU 2017-04, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is removed. As a result, goodwill impairment is the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
