    May i ask why goodwill is assumed to be impaired when revenue has decreased from the last year ?

    Thank you

    I’m not aware that it is an “assumption”. However, future earnings / revenue stream will usually be a significant factor in determining the purchase price of a business and hence the consideration paid for goodwill (excess over tangible net assets). So revenue less than forecast would most likely be an indicator of impairment.
