- 67% of the goodwill impairment in 2012 was booked by three industries: Information Technology, Industrials and Healthcare
- Over 70% of survey respondents are continuing to apply the quantitative Step 1 goodwill impairment test in lieu of the optional qualitative test (Step 0) that was introduced in 2011
