Re: Goodwill is just a paper adjustment of prior transactions - no cash involved.

Adding goodwill to your balance sheet lets you overpay for an acquisition, but not take a loss for that cost on your financial statements - even though the money is gone, gone, gone.

Accounting for goodwill, basically, is when you finally own up to bad investment mistakes you made earlier - you know, like Enron and NT did.
