Accurately tracking and reconciling fixed assets is essential to ensure GAAP compliance. Our CPA team manages the full lifecycle of your fixed assets, from acquisition to disposal, ensuring that all related transactions are accurately documented and reflected in your financial statements.
Fixed Asset Tracking and Depreciation Methods
- Asset Classification: We ensure proper classification of your fixed assets—whether real estate, machinery, or equipment—so that each is depreciated according to IRS and GAAP standards.
- GAAP-Compliant Depreciation: Our team applies the correct depreciation methods, such as straight-line or double-declining balance, to ensure your financials reflect the true value of your assets over time.
- Tax Code Alignment: We reconcile depreciation schedules with Section 167 and Section 168 of the IRS tax code to ensure compliance with federal regulations.
Adjusting for Disposals and Asset Retirement
- Recording Asset Disposals: We track all fixed asset disposals or retirements, ensuring they are properly removed from your books to prevent inflated asset values on your balance sheet.
- GAAP vs. Tax Basis Adjustments: We ensure proper adjustments between tax and GAAP basis for disposals, so you’re reporting accurate book value and taxable gains or losses.
Audit-Ready Fixed Asset Reporting
- Comprehensive Fixed Asset Ledger: Our reconciliations produce a complete and accurate fixed asset ledger, ensuring your records are audit-ready and meet all GAAP requirements.
- Minimizing Risk: We help you mitigate the risk of financial discrepancies or audit issues by ensuring your fixed asset data is accurate and properly accounted for.
