Course Description
When a business buys (or otherwise obtains) an asset, it falls to the accountant to record and follow the asset through its life and eventual disposal. This multi-year activity requires the development of cost-effective accounting systems that address classification, adjustment, and disclosure. The accountant is tasked with ongoing scrutiny and adjustment of what can be hundreds – even thousands – of complex items, some of which don’t even have physical substance. The design of efficient, cost-effective systems defines the art of accounting for assets; you’ll learn how to achieve this and much more from Steven M. Bragg.
In this course – a breakout of Steven’s bestselling Accountants’ Guidebook – we’ll take an in-depth look at how to work within the GAAP requirements of accounting for assets and examine suggestions and techniques for navigating this complex topic. We offer this course as a convenience for those of you who are interested in studying Essentials of Asset Accounting as a standalone topic.
This course covers material also contained in Accountants’ Guidebook.
