17 Customer fees in a cloud computing arrangement (continued) Potential impacts to the Financial Statements Balance sheet Income Statement Cash flow statement Other considerations Is the up-front fee capitalizable or not. If capitalizable, should it be classified as a prepaid asset, intangible asset or another type of asset? Some or all of the costs could be expensed immediately or depending on the asset type, it could be depreciated or amortized. Is it operating (prepaid asset) or investing (intangible asset)?
