Do we still amortise goodwill, and if so, what are the cases when we have to amortise it?
No amortisation for goodwill now, but subject o impairment test according to IFRS 3.
In P2, however, you may face a question with more in-depth critique on the impairment approach in light of the conceptual framework and the fair value accounting.
The revised IFRS 3 says that goodwill must never be amortised.
Goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually or at the reporting date.
Thank you
In dec 09 exams there was a full question about impairment of goodwill. You can read that for more information.
