Encyclopedia4U - Goodwill - Encyclopedia Article (210 words)
Goodwill is an accounting concept that describes the value of a business entity not directly attributable to its physical assets and liabilities.
Goodwill is often included on a Balance Sheet as an asset, but its valuation may be suspect if supporting evidence like an independent survey is missing.
Goodwill is forced onto the balance sheet when a company is purchased for more than the sum of the value of the assets of the company.
