Asset Depreciation...

I was just wondering if a bookkeeper normally does the asset depreciation or if the accountant does?

Many Thanks

Hi

In my experience it has always been the accountant that does the depreciation entry, along with the other year end adjustments - accruals, prepayments, provisions for bad debts

but as long as you provide the necessary working papers I don't see anything wrong with the bookkeeper doing them - it'll save your clients' money as accountants tend to charge a lot more for their time than bookkeepers do

Thanks Gemma :) I was just wondering because I'm currently studying it and it seems quite difficult! How about the trading and profit and loss account?

the TP&L is also normally done by the accountant who will then make the necessary adjustments for completion of the tax return, as things like depreciation aren't allowed for tax - instead capital allowances are claimed
