In August 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This amended accounting guidance as issued is intended to simplify how an entity is to test goodwill for impairment.
