Differences between US GAAP and IFRS : A comparative study of the valuation of intangible assets (English)
Abstract [en]

This paper presents a study of how classification rules within IFRS and US GAAP affect the

valuation of intangible assets. The paper consists of a literature study of theories and empirical

data related to how intangible assets are handled with respect to goodwill, identifiable

intangible assets, value relevance, internally generated intangible assets, acquisitions and

changes in value over time. The study shows that IFRS and US GAAP have different effects

on how intangible assets are valued. IFRS has the potential to measure a larger amount of

goodwill and US GAAP is more inclusive in terms of identifiable intangible assets. However,

this does not apply to R&D, which is only capitalized under IFRS. The conclusion drawn is

thus that the practical use of classification rules within US GAAP and IFRS affects the

valuation of the company's intangible assets. This is based on both how the rules are formulated

and how they are used in practice. Differences occur in both the valuation of an individual

intangible asset and the summed value based on the number of assets included.

Abstract [sv]

Detta arbete presenterar en undersökning hur klassificeringsregler inom IFRS och US GAAPpåverkar värderingen av immateriella tillgångar. Arbetet utgörs av en litteraturstudie av teorioch empirisk data med anknytning till hur immateriella tillgångar hanteras med avseende pågoodwill, identifierbara immateriella tillgångar, värderelevans, internt upparbetadeimmateriella tillgångar, förvärv samt värdeförändring över tid. Av studien framgår att IFRSoch US GAAP har olika inverkan på hur immateriella tillgångar värderas. IFRS har potentialenatt uppmäta en större mängd goodwill och US GAAP är mer inkluderande vad gällandeidentifierbara immateriella tillgångar. Detta gäller dock inte FoU vilket endast kapitaliserasunder IFRS. Den slutsats som dras är att den praktiska användningen av klassificeringsreglerinom US GAAP och IFRS påverkar värderingen av bolagets immateriella tillgångar. Dettagrundar sig i både hur reglerna är formulerade och hur de används i praktiken. Skillnaderförekommer i såväl värderingen av en enskild immateriell tillgång som det summerade värdetbaserat på antalet tillgångar som inkluderas.
