Executive Summary-
Since the different firms follow the different methodologies for the accounting of the internally developed intangible assets as well as the acquired assets and hence, this gives the firms the incentive to change the strategies as far as the research and developments and acquisitions are concerned. We have seen many tech giants acquiring the smaller companies and startups with some sort of patent and scale it up to maximize the shareholders’ value.
These accounting differences lead the firms to acquire the identifiable intangible assets.
However, with the higher number of acquisitions, a lot of goodwill will be recognized on the balance sheet and at the same time even though this is not subject to the amortization, the impairment tests need to be performed and that might lead to significant losses in a year if a huge impairment losses are recognized. AOL Time Warner, the entity after the merger of America Online and Time warner, reported a whopping $ 98 billion loss in 2002 majorly due to the goodwill write-down. This was the biggest corporate loss in the history of the America.1
There has always been some confusion over the allocation of the costs that can be capitalized and the costs which can be expensed directly into the income statements and hence, that needs to be carefully considered since that can lead to adverse price movements in the stock as well as the shareholders’ sentiments. Another issue that has been faced by the management is because of the very high development and research costs of the firms.
Accounting differences prevailing when it comes to acquiring the assets vs. developing themselves gives the rise of the distorted behavior to the firms and driving the behavior of acquiring them at lower costs.
To ensure that the legitimacy of the accounting statements remain of a very high quality over the period of time, this treatment of intangibles should be streamlined across the countries, across different methods.
Major problems arise in the pharmaceutical companies, technology companies, and this happens more frequently since they have their own research and development units. On top of this, these process have been very complex and hence, a lot of activities need to be performed along with a lot of scrutiny from around the world when it comes to the financial statements. Since, identifying these activities become a headache for the accountants around the world.
Definition of the intangibles1 -
IAS38 Intangible Assets outlines the accounting requirements for intangible assets, which are non-monetary assets which are without physical substance and identifiable (either being separable or arises from contractual or other legal rights). Intangible assets meeting the relevant recognition criteria are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or using the revaluation model, and amortized on a systematic basis over their useful lives (unless the asset has an indefinite useful life, in which case it is not amortized.
Identification of Intangible assets2 –
IAS 38 accounting standards identify the set of accounting rules to ensure that the assets which are classified are the ones which can generate some economic benefits and only to the extent of the cost that could have directly been attributed.
Identifiability: an intangible asset is identifiable when it: [IAS 38.12]
· is separable (capable of being separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or together with a related...
