Source text - English Goodwill
The goodwill arising from the purchase of subsidiaries or associated companies is initially measured at cost and represents the excess of the purchase cost over the purchaser's share of the fair value of the identifiable asset, liability, and potential liability values of the company purchased. Any negative difference ("negative goodwill") is recorded in the profit and loss account at the date of purchase.
Goodwill in shareholdings in associated companies is included in the carrying value of those companies.
After the initial recognition, goodwill is decreased by any impairment. It is subject to the impairment test once a year or more often if events or changes occur which could lead to any impairment.
For the purpose of the impairment tests, from the date of purchase the goodwill purchased with business combinations is allocated to each of the units (or group of units) that generate group financial flows and which are expected to benefit from the mutually advantageous effects of the purchase, regardless of the allocation of other assets or liabilities to these units (or groups of units).
Translation - Italian Avviamento
L’avviamento derivante dall’acquisizione di società controllate o collegate è inizialmente rilevato al costo e rappresenta l'eccedenza del costo di acquisizione rispetto alla quota di pertinenza dell'acquirente del fair value dei valori identificabili delle attività, delle passività e delle passività potenziali della società acquisita. Eventuali differenze negative (“avviamento negativo”) sono iscritte nel conto economico alla data dell’acquisizione.
L’avviamento nelle partecipazioni in società collegate è incluso nel valore contabile di tali società.
Dopo la rilevazione iniziale, l’avviamento è decrementato delle eventuali riduzioni durevoli di valore. Esso è soggetto a test di impairment con cadenza annuale, oppure più frequentemente qualora si verifichino eventi o cambiamenti che potrebbero determinare eventuali riduzioni durevoli di valore.
Ai fini dei test di impairment, a partire dalla data dell’acquisizione l’avviamento acquisito mediante aggregazioni aziendali è allocato a ciascuna delle unità (o gruppi di unità) che generano i flussi finanziari del gruppo e che si prevede beneficino degli effetti reciprocamente vantaggiosi dell’acquisizione, indipendentemente dall’allocazione di altre attività o passività a tali unità (o gruppi di unità).

My ultimate goal is to deliver accurate and outstanding translations: my studies in philosophy gave me superior writing and analytical skills which allow me to go beyond literal conversions and to achieve engaging and high-quality results.
This is why my works do not look like translations at all: because I aim at providing texts that make my clients think they were drafted by a lawyer or a business/financial expert.
Furthermore, I am committed to establishing sound professional relationships, based on mutual trust and on transparent and impeccable communication.
