Consolidated Goodwill

Though more context would be necessary.
Explanation:
The difference between the fair value of the consideration given by an acquiring company when buying a business and the aggregate of the fair values of the separable net assets acquired. Goodwill is generally a positive amount. Goodwill should be eliminated by writing it off immediately to the reserves or alternatively by amortization to the profit and loss account over its useful life, to comply with Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 22, ‘Accounting for Goodwill’.

Please check if it fits in your context.

Business Definition for: consolidated (consolidation) goodwill
Dictionary of Accounting Terms
consolidated (consolidation) goodwill
excess of cost over book value of the investment in a subsidiary. With consolidation, even when the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are properly stated, and the net assets equal the values placed on them by the parent, an investor may still expect that the advantages of the combination will enable it to earn more than the two companies could earn separately. Therefore, the investor may be willing to pay an additional amount, which is, in effect, a bonus for control of the subsidiary. This bonus is an intangible asset, goodwill created as a result of consolidation. Consolidation has a special meaning in mergers because a newcompany is formed to own the stock of the companies being combined. In that type of reorganization, there is no goodwill. Goodwill arises from a purchase (ACCOUNTING) method merger and represents the difference between purchase price and book value of the acquired company. The meaning of the difference is theoretically the increased earning power of the companies as a result of their combination, but that value is not something superimposed on a balance sheet. It is what is actually paid less what is actually on the books.
