James Company acquired a competitor company in January 2011. When James’s bookkeeper recorded the acquisition, he correctly recorded an amount for goodwill based on the expectation of the acquired company’s earning a rate of return on its assets that was in excess of the industry’s rate of return. In early 2013, the chief financial officer (CFO) of the James Company asked the company’s bookkeeper to increase the amount recognized as goodwill as the result of increased James Company earnings.
