What to provide

Approved opening/closing asset values, additions, disposals, depreciation, currency and noncash movements.

How it works

  1. Bridge opening plus additions minus carrying value of disposals minus depreciation plus documented other movements.
  2. Separate cash paid from capitalised additions; payable timing can differ.
  3. Tie closing carrying value and flag missing disposal or FX evidence. Do not guess useful lives.
  4. Return movement and cash-timing questions. Do not value assets or post depreciation.

The output

asset class | opening | additions | disposal carrying value | depreciation | other | closing residual

Worked fictional example

Fictional opening500+additions100-disposal30-depreciation50=520. Cash paid80 may leave20 payable; cash80 is not substituted for asset additions100.
