Asset accounting and reporting
Asset operations can create accounting vouchers and affect depreciation reports. Finance should review the accounting outcome as well as the asset register.
- Confirm the acquisition date, cost and relevant accounting setup before posting an acquisition.
- Review the depreciation period and calculation before posting depreciation.
- For a disposal, confirm the date, proceeds and approval; inspect the generated accounting impact.
- Use the asset register and reporting views to reconcile opening values, movements, depreciation and closing values.
- Investigate mismatches before closing the period. Preserve the audit history when cancelling or correcting a transaction.
Reports depend on the selected school, dates, posting status and filters. Do not compare a draft operational list with a posted accounting total without checking those selections.
