GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

6 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company held a total of $309.5 million of goodwill at March 31, 2020. The recorded goodwill is a result of multiple business combinations that have been consummated since fiscal year 2015, with the most recent being the merger with Crestmark pursuant to the Crestmark Acquisition that closed on August 1, 2018. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually or more often if conditions indicate a possible impairment. The assessment is done at a reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segments. The Company has changed its basis of presentation for segments. The Company reviewed goodwill and intangible assets for impairment during the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and deemed no impairment was necessary. See Note 17. Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's segment reporting.

The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
