Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

In the above answer posted by me instead of mentioning
Goodwill should be shown only on the Assets side, I have
mentioned as on the Liabilities side by oversight. I regret
the mistake & request the readers to note the correction.

GOODWILL CAN NOT BE SHOWN ON THE LIABILITIES SIDE, IT WILL
APPEAR ON THE ASSETS SIDE OF THE HORIZONTAL BALANCE SHEET OR
UNDER 'APPLICATION OF FUNDS' IN VERTICAL BALANCE SHEET.

Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Goodwill represents some 'Prudent Value' beyond its assets
in a going concern. I may be the result of brand name,
reputation or any other factor that contributes tot eh
company's performance & growth.

Goodwill may be acquired or internally generated. It needs
to be accounted and presented in the Financial Statements as
per the relevant Accounting Standard (Indian GAAP, US GAAP
IFRS/IAS, etc). Since Goodwill implies some future benefits,
it is an asset and should shown only on the Liabilities side
(Under Application of Funds in Vertical Form) of the Balance
Sheet. Since it's Goodwill, it's not a liability to the
company presenting it in the Balance Sheet. Amortisation of
Goodwill shall be done in accordance with the relevant
Accounting Standards & Guidance Notes.
