Overview:
This course is part of a series dealing with accounting under FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. It considers the requirements of section 18 intangible assets other than goodwill and part of section 19 covering goodwill.
The course considers the initial recognition and subsequent accounting for intangible assets such as software and development costs, and looks at the differences in treatment dependent on whether intangibles are internally generated, separately purchased, or acquired in a business combination.
