A REVIEW ON GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Accounting and reporting of goodwill maintains its importance as one of the most controversial topics in accounting for many years. In 2004, IFRS 3 Business Combinations Standard was published as one of the most important stages of the convergence project between the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), as a consequence the amortization method was superseded by the impairment method. This new method, also called the only impairment approach, has been widely discussed in the literature. In this study, the aforementioned literature is reviewed and the results of the studies are compiled, and the benefits and problems encountered with this new method are revealed.
