Abstract
Examines the various brand asset recognition methods used by the accounting profession, within their existing rules, to highlight, first, the restrictive nature of a brand asset’s current attachment to purchased goodwill and, second, the restrictive requirement for brand asset recognition to be derived solely from a “transaction or event”. Then examines the latest rule change, FRS10, to assess whether the recognition of brand assets is likely to remain restrictive in the future. It concurs with Murphy’s view that brand asset recognition on the balance still continues to be an accounting exercise which is “fudged”.
