Approaches to recording intangible fixed assets according to Czech accounting legislation, German accounting systems and international accounting standards

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the comparison of intangible fixed assets, especially in the area of determination, evaluation at the date of the accounting transaction, closing date and possibilities of amortization according to Czech accounting legislation, chosen German accounting systems and the international accounting standards IAS/IFRS and US GAAP. An analysis of chosen Czech firms with a varied structure of intangible fixed assets was also performed. The analyses proved that, in spite of the running IAS/IFRS and US GAAP convergence process, there are significant differences in this area, which limit the comparability of financial statements of accounting units. This paper is not concerned in detail with preference limits and permits for greenhouse gases and intangible assets in acquisition.
