Impairment of Goodwill & Other Intangible Assets

Navigate through valuation challenges of impairment testing

Ever-changing economic conditions can significantly influence the value of company’s goodwill and other intangible assets. As regulatory scrutiny relating to fair value reporting continue to increase, dealing with complex issues relating to reporting impairment charges can be cumbersome and bear the risk of adverse impact on financial results or delay an IPO process.

Impairment testing challenges not only relate to fair value determination of an enterprise but also individual intangible assets like technology, patents, trademarks which requires specialized knowledge.

We have helped hundreds of companies comply with impairment testing pursuant to ASC 350, ASC 360 and IAS in smooth and cost effective manner.

"We were looking to accurately and effectively assess and evaluate our IP portfolio to commercialize our assets better or raise funds.
