Fixed Assets are assets such as land, buildings, machines, office equipments, vehicles, patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc. held for the purpose of business utilization and are not held for the purpose of sale in the ordinary course of business. During each accounting period (year, quarter, month, etc.) a portion of the cost of these assets is being used up. The portion being used up is reported as Asset Depreciation on the income statement .
It is a mandatory requirement for most of the business organizations to maintain an up-to-date Fixed Assets record. It allows a company to keep track of details of each fixed asset, ensuring control and preventing misappropriation of assets. It also keeps track of the correct value of assets, which allows for computation of depreciation for tax and insurance purposes.
