In this paper, we outline the link between value creation, performance measurement and goodwill accounting. We demonstrate that information required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US‐GAAP) to evaluate a firm's goodwill can be used to design a performance measurement system which provides information about both value creation and the realization of value. Value creation means that the manager initiates projects with a positive NPV, which leads to increases in shareholders' wealth. In contrast, value realization describes the success in the later implementation and realization of the planned figures. From the perspective of value‐based management, we conclude that this performance measure is superior to standard residual income performance measurement. As a consequence, the information needed for external reporting purposes can also be used for internal decision making. From a practical perspective, we demonstrate how appropriate adjustments to the data used for impairment testing result in information which ideally fits the requirements for an optimal performance measurement system. We contribute to the literature by establishing how financial accounting information can be used in performance measurement systems, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: In the following section, we review related literature and outline the aim of the paper. In section 3, we analyze properties of optimal value‐based performance measurement systems. In this context, we describe the link between residual income and value creation based on the analysis of O'Hanlon and Peasnell (2002). In particular, we develop a periodic measure which provides information about both value creation and its realization. In section 4, we discuss the use of goodwill accounting information according to IFRS and US‐GAAP to calculate this measure. We conclude with a summary.
