| 1. ''Financial reporting - research and development.''
| | The transfer of a business from trading on a recognised stock exchange, into private ownership, intended to be for the medium or longer term. |
|
| |
|
| The phases of a project generally include:
| | Also known as a 'public to private' deal. |
| | |
| :(1) Research.
| |
| | |
| :(2) Development.
| |
| | |
| :(3) Commercial production or use of the new or improved items in the market.
| |
| | |
| | |
| For the purposes of financial reporting, development is the ''application of research findings'' or other knowledge to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, processes, systems or services before the start of commercial production or use.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Financial reporting standards generally require development costs to be capitalised only after technical and commercial feasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established. This means that the entity must (1) intend and be able to complete the intangible asset and either use it or sell it ''and'' (2) be able to demonstrate how the asset will generate future economic benefits.
| |
| | |
| On the other hand, all ''research'' costs are expensed.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Relevant accounting standards include IAS 38 and Section 18 of FRS 102.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 2. ''Information technology (IT).''
| |
| | |
| Design and implementation of IT solutions, generally including writing the related software code.
| |
| | |
| For example, ''end user development.''

| | |
| | |
| 3. ''International relations - sustainability.''

| |
| | |
| | |
| 4. ''Real estate.''
| |

| Real estate development means increasing the value of land and buildings by making improvements or putting up new or replacement buildings.

| |
