Goodwill
Goodwill is the difference between the price paid for an acquired asset and its book value. Goodwill is subject to reductions called impairment charges. An impairment charge occurs when a company or its auditors examine the value of goodwill and determine that the value of goodwill as reported on the balance sheet is too high meaning it no longer represents the true value of the asset, goodwill.
