On 12 November 2020, EFRAG, along with the IASB, hosted an outreach event to discuss business combinations and the subsequent accounting for goodwill. A summary report is now available.

The event focused on the views of European investment decision-makers as regards information about the objectives and targets for an acquisition and, in subsequent periods, information about how that acquisition is performing against those targets that they consider important.

High-level speakers and panellists considered the IASB’s preliminary views included in the Discussion Paper Business Combinations —  Disclosures, Goodwill and Impairment and the EFRAG’s Draft Comment Letter.
