The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test on December 31 and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

The Company has two operating and reportable segments, which are Square and Cash App (defined further in Note 20, Segment and Geographical Information). Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Afterpay has been equally allocated to Square and Cash App as management expects that the BNPL platform will contribute equally to each of these segments.

The change in carrying value of goodwill allocated to the reportable segments in the period was as follows (in thousands):
