# Fixed Asset Depreciation Schedule Check

## Inputs
The fixed asset register, the depreciation policy and the schedules.

## Workflow
1. List assets with method, life and salvage value.
2. Recompute the periodic depreciation per asset.
3. Flag assets deviating from policy.
4. Return the check without posting entries.

## Output contract
Asset | method | life | salvage | recomputed | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional register: 30 assets; 27 schedules recompute correctly, 2 use a 5-year life where policy says 3 and 1 is missing its salvage value. Flag 3 assets.

## Review gates
Re-check the policy version in effect at acquisition. Schedule corrections are reviewed entries, never automatic.
