13 December 2013 In the above, you have not stated about the project as in much details, perhaps, as far as concerned about the software, the cost of software need to be recognized as intangible assets under AS-26 read with the AS-1, irrespective of the completion of the project. However, if that software can not be used after the completion of the project then it can added to the assets as per AS-10. Further, the detailed notes to account need to be shown in the books of a/c.

thanks
