Accounting For Intellectual Assets And Liabilities, Indra Abeysekera Jan 2003

Accounting For Intellectual Assets And Liabilities, Indra Abeysekera

Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)

This paper is an addition to the current debate on how to measure and recognise intellectual assets and liabilities.
