How to capitalise intangible assets (softwares created internally)

AS 391 views 1 replies

I want to know how to carry out the capitalization of expenses incurred towards creation of an intangible asset being software. Also, would be helpful if someone could throw a light on how to account for / capitalize such software, patented as well as non patented. Further, reference of relevant Accounting Standard to be referred will be helpful. And where can I find the latest AS copy.

 

Second question is what can be the fees which can be charged by professional for carrying out the above exercise.

2. Training costs are expensed, but professional fees and salaries can be capitalised if their work is attributed towards the construction of the intangible asset.
