Restrospective change in life of intangible asset

200 views 3 replies
hi

our company had acquired the core lending system in 2020. and as per company policy we started to amortize for the period of 5 years. but now we realise that this intngible asset will have a total life of 7 years

if now we change the policy and compute the revised depreciation, do we chArge it back to P/L and continue with the revised rate???

please advise

thanks

Think as per as5 the material effect must be shown from current year when there is a change in accounting policy.  However, you can great it as change in estimate and treat it from current year because you did not change depreciation policy. Its not retrospective i guess.

There is a problem now, people are saying companies acts allow only 5 years amortisation. So what to do now is claim high and leave it off
