Start-up costs are generally classified as an asset on the balance sheet, often under "deferred charges" or "prepaid expenses." These costs represent expenditures incurred before the business begins operations and may include expenses like legal fees, marketing, and permits. Depending on the accounting policies, these costs may be amortized over time, reflecting their consumption as the business operates. It's essential to follow relevant accounting standards, such as GAAP or IFRS, for proper classification and treatment.

Barriers to successful harmonisation of accouting standards?
I believe this question is phrased incorrectly. "International Accounting Standards" means the same thing as IFRS. IFRS stands for "International Financial Reporting Standards". I suspect the question should actually read 'what is the difference between IFRS and US GAAP? I have some knowledge regarding this question as well but this is by no means a complete response. The piece I know about applies to the treatment of R&D expenses. Under US GAAP, almost all of a company's R&D expense are treated as cash outflow (expenses) and affect the income statement in the period in which they occur. There is no effect to asset levels on the balance sheet. Under IFRS, a large portion of a company's R&D expenses must be capitalized and then depreciated/amortized over some period. The treatment is more like that of capital investment spending and creates assets on the balance sheet that then carry a book value as they are depreciated over time.
