    The main issue is auditing fhe decision to capitalise/write off.

    To capitalise:

    The expenditure must be clearly identified (trace to invoices and ensure the amounts have gone to specific projects)

    The development must be technically feasible (inspect reports and talk to developers; inspect prototypes; inspect board minutes.).

    The company must have the financial resources to complete development (inspect budgets and cash flows).

    The project must result in a revenue stream and profit (inspect budgets, talk to sales people, inspect board minutes etc).
