Abstract

This article studies the determinants of the accounting of intangibles assets. The sample is constituted of 92 public and non-public firms in the year's 2003. Empirical analysis reveals that this accounting reduce debt covenants' effects, not informs stockholders of their project quality .Neverless, politic- costs hypothesis is not validated in the Tunisian context.
