Measurement after recognition

Cost model

• After initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be carried at its
cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses. (IAS 38.74)

Revaluation model

• After initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be carried at a

revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the
revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses.

• Fair value shall be determined by reference to an active market.

• Revaluations shall be made with such regularity that at the end of
the reporting period the carrying amount of the asset does not
materially differ from its fair value. (IAS 38.75)
