The following table summarizes the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

The Corporation performs its annual evaluation of goodwill impairment in the third quarter of each year and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate goodwill might be impaired. In 2014 and 2013, the annual test of goodwill impairment was performed as of the beginning of the third quarter. At the conclusion of the first step of the annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in 2014 and 2013 the estimated fair values of all reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts, including goodwill, indicating that goodwill was not impaired. There have been no events since the annual test performed in the third quarter 2014 that would indicate that it was more likely than not that goodwill had become impaired.

A summary of core deposit intangible carrying value and related accumulated amortization follows:
