Significant judgements and estimates
Acquisition fair value
The determination of the fair values of net identifiable assets acquired, and of any goodwill, involves significant
judgement. The allocation of fair value between intangible assets, and the tangible assets with which they are
used, is also judgemental. The Group engages third-party valuers to advise on the purchase price allocation for
significant acquisitions.
