Description:
Fixed assets can compose a significant amount of the total assets in many companies. For example, fixed assets usually account for 35-50% of Fortune 500 companies' total assets and represent the majority of capital investments for most of the companies. These assets are necessary for companies to operate and, in many cases, the efficient use of these assets determines the amount of profit that companies will earn. Fixed Assets: Reporting and Analyzing is designed to address the key accounting principles and concepts of fixed assets and share meaningful insights and techniques that help accounting professionals build a solid foundation to achieve greater efficiency. To maximize efficiency, accountants must answer the following questions:
* What are the basic accounting rules and requirements for recording, reporting and disclosing fixed assets?
* How do I properly account for intangible assets and assess goodwill?
* What are the key differences between IFRS and GAAP affecting the reporting of fixed assets?
* What are the top fixed asset issues and how do I address them?
* What are the internal controls for safeguarding valuable assets?
* How can I be "audit-ready" for fixed assets? What are the targeted audit areas and common audit findings?
* How do I make optimal long-term investment decisions regarding fixed assets?
* What are the various aspects of the lease/buy decisions and considerations of new lease accounting standards?
