Intangible assets and some accounting-related issues

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the specification and issues related to the valuation of intangible assets pursuant to Czech accounting principles and IAS/IFRS. The character of these assets, together with the rules for their classification and accounting, reveal quite a few potential problems with their projection into the accounting books of business entities. The potential differences amongst the approaches applied within the framework of the above mentioned accounting systems result in a different predication and perception which considerably affects the basic financial parameters taken out of the accounting books and used for managerial decision-making. Finally, the issues resulting from the nature of these assets are presented that are common for both accounting systems.
