   Nick Rea, director of valuation and strategy at PwC, says this might slow down the progress of deals, but would encourage thorough decision making in the acquisition process. ,Some deals are taking longer to complete,, he says, ,but a business will have a better idea of what it is buying and why it is doing the deal.
   ...
   Rea says this anomaly needs to be taken into account when investors are comparing a company that has developed its technology in-house to a business that has taken on its R&D through acquisition.
   
   And Sarpel Ustunel, director of valuation boutique Global View Advisors, says directors will have to think more carefully about how they invest their development budgets because they can no longer expense development costs.
   
   ,Under new standards, any capitalised development expenditures have to be written off for unsuccessful projects at a future date, which may lead to criticisms of directors who are accountable for these investments,, he says. ,The new standard will provide more transparency to investors in assessing the recovery of the development costs through economic benefits upon completion of projects or new products.,
