This document summarizes the key aspects of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs. It defines borrowing costs and qualifying assets. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction must be capitalized as part of the asset cost, while other borrowing costs are expensed. Capitalization begins when expenditures are incurred, borrowing costs are incurred, and activities necessary for intended use/sale begin, and ceases when activities are substantially complete. An entity must disclose the amount of borrowing costs capitalized and capitalization rate used.
