For R,D&I Projects: MA Guidance:

i. Has the equipment been capitalised? If the costs have not been capitalised they

should have been treated as Instruments &

Equipment

ii Does the company's depreciation policy have a specific

R&D clause which states that the costs are written off in the

project lifetime?

If yes, the costs should have been treated as

instruments and equipment

If no R&D clause, costs are treated as

depreciation and paid in line with policy.

iii. Have the costs been treated as either

Instruments/Equipment or Depreciation, as appropriate?
