Intangible assets take on increasing importance in nearly all branches of industry. As the analysis of accounting standards for intangible assets in different industries in this paper illustrates, there are many inconsistencies between different standards on accounting for intangibles within the context of US GAAP. In opposition to that, there are only few inconsistencies in accounting for diverse intangibles under German Commercial Code. Moreover, it is striking that – compared to German accounting regulations – US standards on accounting for intangibles implicitly offer more alternative accounting treatments. In view of the main objective of US financial reporting, implicit offers of accounting alternatives have to be criticized. Nevertheless, regardless of the different goals of US and German financial reporting, not only the traditionally conservative German Commercial Code, but also the US standards on accounting for intangibles generally favour conservatism and objectivity.
