What is a Goodwill Impairment Valuation?

A goodwill impairment valuation determines whether the value of recorded goodwill has declined compared to its fair market value. Since goodwill represents intangible benefits from acquisitions such as brand equity and customer relationships - accurate testing is essential for compliance and transparency.

Unlike standard valuations, goodwill impairment must be:

  • Independent and unbiased
  • Aligned with ASC 350 / IAS 36
  • Audit-ready and clearly documented
At Transaction Capital LLC, our experts deliver valuations that meet accounting standards and withstand auditor and regulatory reviews.
