In 2024, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill is attributable to the acquisitions completed during the year. As of March 31, 2024, no triggering events have occurred. The amount allocated to goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, synergies and expected growth from the expanded product and service offerings of acquisitions. The goodwill recognized from the current year acquisitions is expected to be deductible and amortized ratably over a 15-year period for tax purposes.
