Common Challenges
Machine Learning R&D Capitalization
Model training costs, experiments, and research can be very large. Determining when costs can be capitalized vs must be expensed requires in-depth analysis per PSAK 38.
Hybrid Model Revenue Recognition
AI services often combine subscription, usage-based pricing, and project fees in one contract, complicating revenue recognition.
AI Model & Dataset Valuation
AI models and curated datasets have economic value, but measurement is not always straightforward per accounting standards.
Fluctuating Cloud Computing Costs
Cloud costs for training and inference can fluctuate significantly, affecting project margins and requiring accurate tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can AI model training costs be capitalized?
AI model training costs can be capitalized as intangible assets if they meet PSAK 38 criteria: intent to complete, technical ability, certain future benefits, and measurable costs. Research/exploration costs are typically expensed. We help classify each cost type.
How to recognize revenue from API-based AI services?
Usage-based revenue from AI APIs is recognized when services are consumed by customers (usage incurred). Usually there is a minimum monthly commitment recognized upfront, and overage recognized when incurred. Billing and revenue recognition setup needs to sync with usage data.
Can curated datasets be recorded as assets?
Curated datasets can be recorded as intangible assets if they meet criteria: controlled by the company, certain future benefits (for model training), and measurable curation costs. Datasets collected from public sources without significant curation usually do not meet criteria.
How do accounting services improve operating cost efficiency?
Accurate, timely financial reports help you spot cost leakage, monitor margins by product or service, and make data-based decisions.
Can financial reports be accessed in real time?
Yes. We use cloud accounting systems so you can monitor cash flow, profit and loss, and business performance from anywhere.
How do you ensure reports are ready for external audits or banks?
Reports are prepared by qualified accounting professionals with clear documentation and traceable transaction data.
