Mind the GAAP and Wipfli Issue Comment Letter on IFRS Discussion Paper on Goodwill Amortization
Mind the GAAP once again partnered with Wipfli LLP to issue a joint comment letter on the IFRS Discussion Paper, Business Combinations – Disclosures, Goodwill, and Impairment. The firms support many of the IASB’s specific proposals, but would recommend that IFRS (and U.S. GAAP) include a “hybrid model” that requires goodwill amortization commencing no later than five years from the date of acquisition, and ceasing no more than ten years thereafter.
