Likewise, an attempt has been made to verify whether such application has been insufficient and late. Through a significant sample, statistical tools already widely used in other studies have been applied to contrast the behavior of entities. The results obtained show that impairment policies have been applied unevenly in each of the countries. These conclusions could support the return to a valuation pattern that takes into account the systematic amortization of goodwill, apart from its impairment. This paper reveals how impairment in European banks has been recognized during a crucial period of time that includes a major financial crisis. The study suggests a discretionary and opportunistic implementation of accounting regulations which does not reveal the economic conditions inherent to the financial activity of the leading European banks, making comparability difficult and, ultimately, making the financial information less relevant.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Dada la ausencia de amortización del fondo de comercio, el objetivo de esta investigación se concreta en identificar si el test de deterioro, entre los ejercicios 2005 y 2015, primera década de aplicación de las NIIF, ha sido aplicado de manera homogénea y coherente por los 45 mayores bancos europeos. Asimismo, se ha tratado de comprobar si dicha aplicación ha podido ser insuficiente y tardía. A través de una muestra significativa, se han aplicado herramientas estadísticas ampliamente utilizadas en otros estudios, para contrastar el comportamiento de las entidades. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que las políticas de deterioro han sido aplicadas de manera desigual en cada país. Estas conclusiones podrían soportar la vuelta a un patrón de valoración que considerase la amortización sistemática del fondo de comercio, aparte de su deterioro. El trabajo muestra la aplicación del deterioro en los bancos europeos, durante un periodo temporal de especial importancia, puesto que incluye los años de crisis financiera. El estudio sugiere una implementación de la normativa contable que puede ser calificada de discrecional y oportunista en la contabilización del fondo de comercio.]]></p></abstract>
