Abstract

In this article, we performed a comparative analysis of similarities and distinctions of the national and international standards of accounting for goodwill. In the research we studied the description of economic category "goodwill", its quality and components. We showed that the disclosures that are related to goodwill are frequently not submissive with the policy in accounting standards, consequently the research aims to improve the accounting regulations for goodwill from the perspective of a modern economic environment. Special attention was focused on the objectives and functional mechanism of the harmonization for accounting in Ukraine. We gave the ways for development of the Ukrainian legislation about goodwill in agreement with international principles
