Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business
combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. This results when the purchase cost
exceeds the fair value of acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill arising from
the acquisition of a foreign entity and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities of that foreign entity are treated as assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the
respective reporting entity, and are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the date of the initial consolidation.
Goodwill is carried in the functional currency of the acquired foreign entity.
Acquired goodwill is valued at cost and is tested for impairment on an annual basis and additionally when
there are indications of potential impairment.
