Amount spent on improving the skill set of the employees

Financial Reporting

answered on 06-Jun-24 15:03

Can you explain the cases, where the amount spent on improving the skill set of the employees be treated as Intangible assets under INDAS 38 ? (as there is an unless part in definition)

latest answer

These are very rare cases where an entity has legal right to control the employment of its employees. Say if an employee does not have right to leave the company for two years (again impracticable due to contract act) and the company spends some amount on trainings, they may consider these amounts spent as intangible assets. However, practically its difficult to execute.

Netflix example

Financial Reporting

answered on 06-Jun-24 15:05

If Netflix can able to sell the web series independently, such web series can be treated as Intangible assets. If Netflix cannot sell the web series independently, instead only entire business/brand only can be sold, in such case, web series will not be treated as Intangible assets. Am I right, sir?

latest answer

Yes.

Auditing

answered on 08-Jun-24 10:52

The engagement partner shall form a conclusion on compliance with independence requirements that apply to the audit engagement. In doing so, the engagement partner shall: - (i) Obtain relevant information from the firm to identify and evaluate circumstances and relationships that create threats to independence (ii) Evaluate information on identified breaches, if any, of the firm’s independence policies and procedures to determine whether they create a threat to independence for the audit engagement and (iii) Take appropriate action to eliminate such threats or reduce them to an acceptable level by applying safeguards, or, if considered appropriate, to withdraw from the audit engagement, where withdrawal is permitted by law or regulation. The engagement partner shall promptly report to the firm any inability to resolve the matter for appropriate action.

latest answer

Also when they say, if permissible by law and regulation, it means sometimes Audits are required by government or regulatory authorities. In cases auditor cannot withdraw from engagement
