Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets Overview:

Today, keeping track of a company’s fixed assets is a major bookkeeping task, especially in light of all the various depreciation methods that might be applicable and the fact that they may be transferred back and forth between locations. Also, state and federal depreciation laws tend to be different and in many cases, both of these methods differ from the desired internal methods of asset depreciation. The CDS Fixed Asset Package is designed to simplify asset accounting by accurately calculating depreciation by any one of multiple possible methods, providing up to three sets of depreciation books (state, federal, and internal), providing accurate detailed and summarized reports for easy reference and providing an optional automatic update to General Ledger.

Fixed Assets Features:

  • Depreciation methods include straight line, sum-of-years digits, declining balance (1.25, 1.50, 1.75 and 2.00), user defined percentage, ACRS, Federal Declining Balance, and ‘no depreciation’
  • Up to three different depreciation books (state, federal and internal) for each asset
  • Keeps track of ITC and first year bonus depreciation
  • Declining balance automatically converts to straight line at the optimum time
