to write off against equity
Explanation:
Hallo Daniela,
Pity you didn't specify which accounting rules apply in this case - substitute "equity" if necessary.

Here's a quote from the International Accounting Standards that may fit your context:

"Therefore, enterprises applying IASs for the first time may, for example, either write off balances of goodwill that arose in periods beginning prior to 1 January 1995 directly against equity or capitalise and amortise them (IAS 22.79 (revised 1993)), regardless of the previous treatment under national GAAP."

HTH - Gruß Ralf
