Theoretical movement schedule for goodwill

Goodwill from acquisitions is fully offset against equity at the date of acquisition. The theoretical amortisation of goodwill is based on the straight-line method over the useful life of five years. Goodwill from new acquisitions is set in Swiss francs and calculated based on the closing rate at the acquisition date. This procedure means that the movement schedule no longer has to include foreign exchange differences. The impact of the theoretical capitalisation and amortisation of goodwill is presented below:
