Asset Summary

Columns

Code and Name  - The code and description of the Asset Class, e.g. FF Fixtures and Fittings. Click on the Asset Class to see more detail.

Balance Sheet Category  - The description used on CCH Accounts Production's fixed asset note for this Asset Class. Assets brought into Corporation Tax are grouped by Balance Sheet Category. For instance, there could be Asset Classes in the FAR for "Freehold Property" and "Leasehold Property", but both Asset Classes could be aggregated as "Land and Buildings" on the fixed asset note. In this case both Asset Classes would have a Balance Sheet Category of "Land and Buildings".

Agrees with AP - The balances on the assets in the Asset Class agree with the nominal accounts in CCH Accounts Production. A single nominal account can be used on multiple Asset Classes, e.g. several Asset Classes could use the same Profit and Loss on Disposal account. In this case, the FAR agrees with the nominal ledger if the nominal account agrees with the sum of the FAR balances across all the Asset Classes that use it.

In the remaining columns, the balances shown are similar to those for a fixed asset note for the current year. To see the balances for a different year, exit the FAR and choose a different Accounting Period in CCH Accounts Production.
