Abstract
Today the problem of accounting and reflecting business reputation (goodwill) in accounting (financial) statements remains relevant, since there are significant differences in the methodology for accounting and reflecting business reputation in Russian and international accounting (financial) reporting standards, as well as in accounting (including appraisal) practice. The article provides an up-to-date definition of the term “goodwill” (goodwill), discusses the features of accounting and reflection of positive and negative business reputation, and provides a comparative analysis of the main methods for assessing goodwill. Further, in detail, with relevant examples, the features of accounting and accounting for the impairment of goodwill in the event of the acquisition of shared ownership are considered. The calculations carried out in this article confirm the expediency of the proposed methodological analogies. The methods of accounting and evaluation of business reputation presented will allow companies’ management to better navigate the current features of goodwill accounting based on Russian and international financial reporting rules.
