Reviews

"""Never in my twenty plus years of valuing, teaching goodwill and fair value including serving state and national committees including the FASB have I seen such a thoroughly researched and cogent history of goodwill. M.H. Bloom captures the very essence of the tension in goodwill between relevance and reliability! I had no idea such tension went back over a hundred years. The reader of this book will acquire a new appreciation for the age-old difficulties management faces today in presenting the most meaningful financial results of the company."" Michael Mard, Financial Valuation Group, USA."
