    Sir, when dealing with capitalising development costs, should i note down like it must meet all of the criteria under IAS 38 intangible Assets?

    whenever i write down IAS regulation to verify those kinds of risks, it would be marked as well?

    To show a T&F view, the FS should comply with accounting standards. So the key to properly capitalising R&D is IAS 38 (though you don’t need to know its name or number). Depending on the marks/time you might be able to mention each of the criteria. If stuck for time you could say something like:

    Verify that R&D capitalised complies with the relevant accounting standard. For example, is the project technically feasible? If finance available to allow it to be completed.

    That’s a better answer than simply saying:

    Examine the R&D charges capitalised to ensure this is correct.
