BACKGROUND INFORMATION

IAS 38 Intangible Assets outlines the accounting requirements for intangible assets, which are defined as non-monetary assets without physical substance but which are identifiable, being either separable or alternatively arising from contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets meeting the relevant recognition criteria are measured initially at cost and subsequently either at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (if any) or else using the revaluation model. The revaluation model however may only be adopted if fair value can be determined by reference to an active market. Such active markets are expected to be uncommon for intangible assets but examples where these exist may include production quotas, fishing licences taxi licences.
Amortisation is calculated on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset (unless an asset has an indefinite useful life such as purchased goodwill in a business combination, in which case amortisation does not apply).
IAS 38 was revised in March 2004 and applies to intangible assets acquired in business combinations occurring on or after 31 March 2004, or otherwise to other intangible assets for annual periods beginning on or after 31 March 2004. Subsequent developments occurred in 2008/9 as part of the improvements project to IFRSs, in 2013 as a result of annual improvements  and finally in 2014 by way of clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation.
