Summary of SIC-23
SIC-23 confirms that the cost of a major inspection or overhaul generally should be expensed as incurred. The exception is where the enterprise treats the cost of a major inspection or overhaul as a separate "component" asset for accounting purposes and depreciates that component to reflect the consumption of benefits resulting from the major inspection or overhaul.
