For partial goodwill impairment, why it sometimes take total impaiment loss-notional goodwill And sometimes take total impairment loss× parent portion Which one is correct?
We take the parent’s share of the total impairment when the goodwill is calculatd using the full goodwill method, as the impairment belongs to both the parent and NCI.
For partial goodwill, the impairment relates only to the parent and so the full amoutn goes through retined eanings.
