There has been a lot of misunderstanding between marketers and accounting managers due to financial issues and goals. This led to a point when the top management’s interest towards the marketing function had consequently been decreasing which in its turn resulted in the reduction of marketing budgets. This study gives a short introduction to the concept of marketing investments. We analyse difficulties in evaluating marketing investments where marketing itself is considered today as an intangible asset. Another issue we discuss is a short-term perspective on marketing investments where marketers and accountants have some troubles in finding a compromise. In conclusion, the idea of marketing accountancy is introduced which is claimed to be a solution for current problems related to marketing investments.} }
