    The criteria are identified in the course notes! Have you not read the course notes?

    Check them out and, if you can’t find them, post again

    development costs capitalise if it satisfies the criteria:
    defined project
    environmentally satisfactory
    feasible technically
    expenses clearly allocable
    reliable measurement
    resources exist to carry the project through
    extent of deferral restricted to assured recovery
    do not write back any costs previously expensed,
    Do you mean only these?

    Not only must it satisfy the definition of an asset according to IAS 16 (a resource controlled by the entity ……..) but specifically it should give rise to future economic benefit and be reliably measurable

    Does the BPP text not give you those capitalisation requirements / criteria?
