浅析软件行业研发费用核算存在的问题及建议——以11家软件上市公司为例
摘要:
随着知识经济的到来,企业竞争愈演愈烈,研发能力成为企业在竞争中取胜的重要筹码,研发投入在企业支出中占有的份额不断增大,特别是科技含量很高的软件行业,研发投入的多少在一定程度上决定了水平的高低,所以软件行业的研发费用的信息披露也越来越引起投资者的关注。研发费用是指研究与开发某项目所支付的费用。对研发费用的处理有三种方法,包括费用化观点、资本化观点和有条件资本化观点。但是我国目前对企业研发费用的处理规定具有诸多不足,为全面核算研发费用增加了难度。本文从无形资产、研发费用的资本化与费用化等相关概念入手,简单介绍了在现行会计准则下研发费用会计处理方法和原则,继而以11家主营业务中软件业务占最大比例的上市公司为研究对象,分析了软件上市公司研发费用信息披露现状,然后指出其存在的六个方面的问题:开发阶段“资本化”五个条件的确认存在难度、计量单位单一,过于注重货币实物性、无形资产实际价值没有得到反映、存在过度费用化现象、披露过于简单,形式散乱、强制性披露制度安排不到位,并对针对存在的以上问题提出了一些建议。希望有关部门进一步完善上市公司研发费用信息披露的规范,制定出具体实施的相关规则,使研发信息披露落到实处,从而快速有效的提高会计报告提供信息的相关性,以满足信息使用者的需求。
