English term or phrase: Goodwill
Estoy traduciendo un documento de estados financieros consolidados, me aparece goodwill y lo he estado traduciendo como valor intrínseco, pero estoy confundida si también puede ser plusvalía...

El contexto es el siguiente:

(a) Goodwill

The Group assesses annually whether any objective evidence of impairment on goodwill exists in
accordance with the accounting policy as described in note 3. The recoverable amount of an asset
or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value
in use is measured based on estimates.

(a) Valor intrínseco

El Grupo determina anualmente si existe alguna evidencia objetiva de deterioro del valor intrínseco de acuerdo con las políticas contables, tal como se describe en la nota 3. El valor acreditable de un activo o de un centro de ingresos equivale a su valor en uso mayor y a su valor razonable menos los costos de venta. Se calcula el valor en uso por medio de las estimaciones.

goodwill
plusvalía


Explanation:
En algunos casos se utiliza "buen nombre" para definir el goodwill de compañías o el valor agregado de un servicio. En este caso siendo un activo la palabra "plusvalía" define el valor "adicional" o "goodwill".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Pero ¿el valor intrínseco entonces no quedaría en este caso? Siento que valor intrínseco tiene que ver más con el "buen nombre" y la plusvalía es más un valor tangible? No soy experta en este tema, ¿será mejor cambiar todo a Fondo de comercio? :s

Reference information:
DEFINITION of 'Goodwill'

An intangible asset that arises as a result of the acquisition of one company by another for a premium value. The value of a company’s brand name, solid customer base, good customer relations, good employee relations and any patents or proprietary technology represent goodwill. Goodwill is considered an intangible asset because it is not a physical asset like buildings or equipment. The goodwill account can be found in the assets portion of a company's balance sheet.
