Events
Triggering – Test for Goodwill Impairment
Although goodwill must be
tested annually for impairment, the following events (if
likely to reduce the fair value a reporting unit below
its carrying unit) will trigger a test for impairment.
- A
significant adverse change in legal factors or in
the business climate
- An
adverse action or assessment by a regulator
- Unanticipated
competition
- A
loss of key personnel
- A
more-likely-than-not expectation than a reporting
unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit
will be sold or otherwise disposed of.
- The
testing for recoverability under Statement 121 of a
significant asset group within a reporting unit.
- Recognition
of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial
statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a
reporting unit.
In addition, goodwill
must be tested for impairment after a portion of
goodwill has been allocated to a business to be disposed
of.
Different reporting units
maybe tested for goodwill impairment at different times.
See Paragraph 28 of SFAS
142.
