IFRS
Capitalisation of borrowing costs - from theory to practice
Contents
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a revised version of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs in March 2007. The new standard will result in a change in accounting policy for entities that applied the benchmark treatment of expensing borrowing costs under the previous standard. These entities will now need to develop procedures to calculate the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised.
