Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) and ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other intangibles are recorded at fair value as of acquisition date.

WSFS performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In between annual tests, management performs a qualitative review of goodwill quarterly as part of the Company's review of the overall business to ensure no events or circumstances have occurred that would impact its goodwill evaluation. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, management determined based on its qualitative assessment that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and no goodwill impairment existed during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table shows the allocation of goodwill to the reportable operating segments for purposes of goodwill impairment testing:
