GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
The Company held a total of $309.5 million of goodwill at September 30, 2021. The recorded goodwill is a result of multiple business combinations that have been consummated since fiscal year 2015, with the most recent 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. See Note 21. Segment Reporting for additional information on the Company's segment reporting. There have been no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
The Company completed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of September 30, 2021. Based on the results, it was identified that it was more likely than not the fair value of goodwill recorded exceeded the current carrying value and concluded no impairment existed as of September 30, 2021.
