WHAT THIS COURSE COVERS

Over 7,300 accountants, auditors, and finance professionals have used this course to sharpen their depreciation knowledge and build models they can rely on.

The course focuses on the practical realities of fixed asset accounting — not just the formulas, but the situations where things go wrong:

- What happens when an asset is purchased or disposed of mid-year?

- How do you calculate the exact gain or loss on disposal?

- How do you forecast depreciation for next year's budget?

- What is the balance sheet and P&L impact of each transaction?

You will work through real examples and learn how the depreciation model handles each scenario — including the ones your colleagues struggle with.
