This page says:
"Intangible assets are non-physical resources and rights that have a value to the firm because they give the firm an advantage in the marketplace. Intangible assets include goodwill, intellectual property (such as copyrights, trademarks, patents, computer programs), and financial assets, including financial investments, bonds, and companies' shares."
While page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_asset says:
"The opposite of financial assets is non-financial assets, which include both tangible property (sometimes also called real assets) such as land, real estate or commodities, and intangible assets such as intellectual property, including copyrights, patents, trademarks and data.".
Which one is correct? 84.220.143.95 (talk) 20:48, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
@84.220.143.95 I'm not seeing the contradiction. You could break it into four categories:
I propose merging Current asset into Asset. I think the content in Current asset can easily be explained in the context of this article, and merging them would not cause any article-size or weighting problems.
Current asset was also created in 2003 and is still a stub, and the Current asset section in this article already covers much of the same content. Duncnbiscuit (talk) 04:54, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Agree, although alternately it and fixed asset could be merged to create an article explaining that dichotomy, perhaps under the title fixed and current assets or current and fixed assets. But in any case, the main concept is asset and so that should have coverage of these concepts. Arlo James Barnes 22:21, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
