Goodwill is no longer amortized under U.S. GAAP (FAS 142). [8] FAS 142 was issued in June 2001.

As of 2005-01-01, it is also forbidden under International Financial Reporting Standards.
The difference between the $24B and $30B is $6B in goodwill acquired through the transaction—the excess of the purchase price paid over the FV of the net identifiable assets acquired. Finally, the acquirer adds both the value of the written-up assets ($24B) as well as the goodwill ($6B) onto the balance sheet, for a total of $30B in new net ...

The IASB and FASB made joint efforts to devise a common impairment model, but the FASB eventually decided to propose an alternative scheme in January 2011. [5] The IASB issued a new exposure draft in January 2013, [5] which later led to the adoption of IFRS 9 in July 2014, [6] effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. [7]
Following substantial protests from both financial statements preparers and users, the second Exposure Draft reinstated two types of lease accounting, with "Type A" leases treated essentially the same as FAS 13 capital leases and "Type B" leases maintaining the single lease expense, straight line over the life of the lease, that characterizes ...
