Company is raising capital and it incurred some lawyers fees to write a contract for investors and have hired a consultant to find investors. Can I offset the cost of the consultant and legal fees against the capital raised and how would I treat this expense on the balance sheet?
Is there any official accounting literature exist about how to treat cost of raising capital? Should the costs be expenses or capitalized?
