Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your task is to review management's goodwill impairment analysis for GreenLeaf Grocers. You must assess the reasonableness of key assumptions: revenue growth rate (3% perpetuity), discount rate (8%), and terminal value. Identify at least three areas where management's assumptions may be aggressive. Recalculate the impairment using your own conservative assumptions. Deliver a memo summarizing your findings, a revised impairment test, and a recommendation on whether goodwill is impaired. Success means a defensible position that withstands PCAOB scrutiny.
