Under IFRS: Research costs are expensed & vs. EXPENSING e.g.: staff training, painting, repair and maintenance Go to Cash Flow Statement as Cash Flow from Operating
Development costs are capitalized.
Under GAAP: Both are expensed

e.g., Historical cost (Gross) - Accumulated depreciation recognized in early years & less in later years of asset's life.
Only permitted under IFRS
An asset is carried at depreciated cost, but at each revaluation date, the
carrying amounts is adjusted to fair value.
REVALUATION Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized
over useful lives.
First Revaluation Date : Same methods as Depreciations Units-of-production methods : Depreciation is based on usage

Subsequent Revaluation Dates:
+) Fair value < Carrying value -> Difference reduces RS and then the
remaining (in difference, if any) is recorded as Loss in IS

3. IMPAIRMENT & REVALUATION
e.g.,
Reflect an unanticipated decline in the value of an asset. (e.g., adverse
change in market conditions, technological/ legal changes) Useful Lives
Both IFRS and GAAP require companies to write down the carrying
amount of impaired assets. IMPAIRMENT
Impairment reversals are permitted only under IFRS Indefinite lives -> NOT amortized but are tested for
Under IFRS: Impaired when Carrying value > Recoverable amount -> impairment at lease annually (Trademark*, Goodwill,
Written down to Recoverable Amount (on BS) -> Impairment Loss (in Franchise Agreement)
IS) Intangible Assets Impairment loss is recognized when Carrying Amount > Fair
Value
IMPAIRMENT LOSS = Carrying Amount - Recoverable Amount
Recoverable Amount = Max(Fair value - Cost to sell; Value in use)
Value in use = PV of Asset's future cash flow
