Initial Recognition: Research and Development Costs
- Charge all research cost to expense. [IAS 38.54]
- Development costs are capitalised only after technical and commercial feasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established. This means that the enterprise must intend and be able to complete the intangible asset and either use it or sell it and be able to demonstrate how the asset will generate future economic benefits. [IAS 38.57]
If an enterprise cannot distinguish the research phase of an internal project to create an intangible asset from the development phase, the enterprise treats the expenditure for that project as if it were incurred in the research phase only. Initial Recognition: In-process Research and Development Acquired in a Business Combination
A research and development project acquired in a business combination is recognised as an asset at cost, even if a component is research. Subsequent expenditure on that project is accounted for as any other research and development cost (expensed except to the extent that the expenditure satisfies the criteria in IAS 38 for recognising such expenditure as an intangible asset).
