    Purchased research that was originally initiated for entity should be expensed.

    Purchased research that was originally initiated for 3rd party should be capitalised .

    Correct?

    Hi,

    It looks like you’ve been working hard. Any research performed by ourselves for ourselves is recognised through profit or loss.

    If we are doing research for a 3rd party then we would be looking at revenue recognition issues with regards the sale of the intangible.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks

    A research which was initiated for company A but during research it was bought by Company B (entity in question).As it is purchased it should be capitalised right?

    If we purchase an intangible then we capitalise it.
