Fixed asset accounting (AnBu): The recording and management of fixed assets

Fixed asset accounting is used to record and manage a company's fixed assets. In accounting, fixed assets are defined as objects and assets that remain in the company in the long term and are necessary for the creation, expansion and establishment of the company, i.e. for the performance of the company's activities. Both tangible and intangible assets are taken into account. Intangible assets cannot be valued independently. Common examples include own brands, customer lists, publishing rights, print titles, software, etc. Tangible assets can be land, real estate, vehicles, equipment (furniture), machinery, hardware, etc. As soon as assets meet the asset criteria, they are recognized as fixed assets in fixed asset accounting. These criteria are in turn made up of various principles that must be fulfilled: the asset value principle, the tangibility principle and the principle of autonomous valuation.

These explanations make it clear how complex asset accounting - although itself only a small part of financial accounting - is in itself. Numerous aspects must be taken into account when taking stock. Fixed assets are constantly changing, increasing or decreasing. In addition, there are various depreciations and changes in value as well as adjustments and changes in accounting law.

The complexity of this part of financial accounting challenges professionals in the finance department of many companies. Eliminate your uncertainties and gain competence and knowledge: In an appropriate specialist course, you will receive an up-to-date and clear overview of fixed asset accounting. The practice-oriented course offers you a good insight into asset accounting by means of case studies and sound knowledge transfer and trains you to become a competent specialist for the accounting and finance department of a company.
