Goodwill impairment levels for public companies doubled from 2014 to 2015, hitting their highest mark since the global financial crisis, according to the latest data from Duff & Phelps.

In addition to market data, the Duff & Phelps study also explores changes that are in the works for how companies will account for goodwill in the future.
