Asset recognition is the process of identifying and recording an asset on the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset's cost or value can be measured reliably. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the resources available to the entity, supporting informed decision-making by stakeholders.
