Intangible assets – recognition, measurement (amortization, impairment and revaluation),
disposals and disclosures
Intangible asset - an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. An asset is a
resource that is controlled by the entity as a result of past events (for example, purchase or self-
creation) and from which future economic benefits (inflows of cash or other assets) are
expected. [IAS 38.8] Thus, the three critical attributes of an intangible asset are:
Identifiability
Control (power to obtain benefits from the asset)
Future economic benefits (such as revenues or reduced future costs)
Examples of intangible assets

newspaper mastheads, internet domains video and audiovisual material (e.g. motion pictures,
television programs) customer lists mortgage servicing rights licensing, royalty and standstill
agreements etc.
