Please highlight 3 differences between the treatment for intangibles under GAAP and IFRS.
One of the main differences between U.S. GAAP and IAS/IFRS is the measurement of property, plant & equipment subsequent to initial recognition. Read IAS 16 and answer the following questions. Provide a list of the references you have used to search this topic.
