Goodwill is an intangible asset that arises when a buyer acquires an existing business, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets. It reflects elements like brand reputation, customer relationships, and intellectual property. Goodwill is recorded on the balance sheet and is subject to annual impairment tests rather than amortization.
