Original Abstract

Goodwill represents an integralpart of the value of a construction company. In the Czech Republic, the concept of goodwill appeared in accounting in 2003, while the method of determining its value or depreciation differs from foreign IFRS or US GAAP standards. With respect to the specificity of the goodwill concept in the Czech Republic, this article focuses on the perception of goodwill in the construction industry environment. Quantitative data has been collected in the form of an online questionnaire survey and then supplemented by qualitative data obtained through structured interviews to reach the research objective. Data has been evaluated using table and graphical depiction and relative importance index. It has been found out that a large proportion of informants has no clear ideaof what the goodwill concept means, however, generally they perceive the importance of goodwill for their companies. The results of this study represent a preliminary analytical insight into the issue being studied, which forms part of a broader research task that should lead to creation of amethodology for the objective determination of the construction company goodwill value in the long-term horizon.
