Leasehold improvements should generally be capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the improvements. This approach aligns the expense recognition with the benefits derived from the improvements. Deferring leasehold improvements could distort financial statements by not accurately reflecting the asset's value and associated depreciation. However, specific accounting policies and regulations should always be considered.
