Hi please, can you let me know how to identify the goodwill on consideration can be cash, equity, deffered or contingent. What would be the audit procedure many thanks Rakhi.

Goodwill is an asset. How do you audit assets?
Get a copy of the client’s calculations and take the steps necessary to confirm the accuracy, completeness and validity of each of those figures within that calculation
Go back mentally to the accounting assertions and apply your mind to how to establish the material accuracy of the figures presented

September 21, 2016 at 5:55 pm #341251The audit of an intangible like goodwill is only tangentially covered by accounting standards!
Much of any answer on the audit of goodwill comes from the application of pure common sense
