This refers to an accounting software program tha handles goodwill.

I understand the words of the above phrase, but cannot grasp the meaning of it.

I am not sure to understand your point. Technically, both are the difference between investment and equity. For goodwill, this equity includes additional entries. Last, in a consolidation system, the second does not exist. It is only a step in calc.
rkillings Sep 7, 2007:
I suspect the writer has given a faulty description of what is going on, since goodwill is an aggregate residual. It would make more sense to me if it were about treatment of differences on first consolidation (écarts de première consolidation).

enter / key figures on specific technical accounts

this means technical entries just meant to have the correct goodwill (ecart d'acquisition) when the consolidation process has run in the system.
Something went wrong...
