What is the difference between the frequency of impairment testing for goodwill, required by ASPE versus IFRS?

Under ASPE there is no requirement to test annually for impairment for goodwill.  Goodwill only has to be tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned may exceed the fair value of the reporting unit..   Under IFRS goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment.
