What is amortization..? Any examples pls..? ..

Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Amortization is the process of writing off Intangible assets
over a period of more than one year. Example, Amount paid or
spent for acquiring patent, Pre-operative Expenses,
Preliminary Expenses, etc. It's similar to charging
depreciation on tangible fixed assets.
The purpose is not to burden the Profit & Loss A/c of the
year in which the expenses are incurred, but to spread over
a period or years with a view to set off against the
revenues of several financial periods with reasonable logic.
