thank you for your blog and a...Hi, Prof. Damodaran.<br />thank you for your blog and all the information you are sharing.<br />i have a small question, maybe you will be able to help.<br />what should be in case one company A is acquiring a group of companies B with goodwill already incorporated in consolidated BS. e.g one of the assets acquired is goodwill. I do understand that it should probably be not recognized, but i cannot imagine where should the difference go? should be be pre-acquisition RE of company B?<br />thank you in advance!

Goodwill and intangibles make up the bulk of their assets and there appears to be a mismatch to the liabilities (which are very much tangible).

If it was bad goodwill it might possibly be expensed later. <br /><br />I liked that yahoo finance has a line for tangible book or tangible assets in their balance sheet page for stocks.<br /><br />Chanos suggested that for tech companies that goodwill might be considered capitalized R&D.<br /><br />Over paying does not seem to me to be an accumulation.<br /><br />“Accumulate, accumulate!

If you have staff, find out what they think of the current accounting system you have in place. Inquire about what software they may have used in the past and find out what they need to work effectively. It's best to get feedback before making any purchasing decisions. To get an idea of what to expect, review the costs and payment plans of available accounting software. Many of the software packages may end up costing more than the listed retail price. This is due to additional services required for features such as payroll updates and merchant services. Consider what financial resources you have for investment in software. Every investment made for your business has a cost-benefit analysis that you should assess. Many popular accounting software packages have the convenient attribute of allowing data to be converted from one program to another. Should the software not work as expected, firms may easily switch to more suitable accounting software products. Be sure to compare software capacity to your current and future business needs.

In this regard, some intangible assets appeared in the balance sheets, which were not identified before including customer base, brand, etc. In your opinion, do these changes improve the quality of financial reporting? Many questions arise around identification customer relationships separately from goodwill, because its depreciation affects cash flows of a company. In your opinion, are such assets plug variables likewise goodwill?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713572719116886610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152901575140311047.post-30074264677938787962013-08-22T17:24:29.267-04:002013-08-22T17:24:29.267-04:00Such a nice blog, you really provide me some great...Such a nice blog, you really provide me some great information. i am going to bookmark this blog, share with my friends and will definitely visit here again.
