IAS No. 38Intangible Assets • Applies to all intangible assets that are not specifically dealt with in other International Accounting Standards • Specifically, IAS 38 indicates that an intangible asset should be recognized initially, at cost, in the financial statements if: • The asset meets the definition of an intangible asset. Particularly, there should be an identifiable asset that is controlled and clearly distinguishable from an enterprise's goodwill; • It is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise; and • The cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
IAS No. 38Intangible Assets • After initial recognition in the financial statements, IAS No 38 indicates that an intangible assets should be measured under one of the following two treatments: • Benchmark treatment: historical cost less any amortization and impairment losses; or • Allowed alternative treatment: revalued amount (based on fair value) less any subsequent amortization and impairment losses.
IAS No. 38Intangible Assets • The statement requires intangible assets to be amortized over the best estimate of their useful life, includes the presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed 20 years and should • Test the intangible asset for impairment at least annually in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets; and • Disclose the reasons why the presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed 20 years is rebutted and also the factor(s) that played a significant role in determining the useful life of the asset.
