Overview   

In a world where new transaction types and new concepts like digital currencies (e.g. Bitcoin) and other possible intangible assets, such as human capital, are becoming much more prevalently considered, it is essential to understand the principles of IAS 38. 

IAS 38 Intangible Assets states that an intangible asset is a non-monetary asset without physical substance. Such an asset is identifiable when it is separable or when it arises from contractual or other legal rights.   

Join Anton van Wyk M.Com, CA(SA) on 27 October 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. where he will be discussing what should be considered to correctly determine whether or not a transaction actually satisfies the definition of an “intangible asset”.
