Amortisation &   Disposal Accounting

Understanding Amortisation & Disposal Accounting

Amortisation and disposal accounting are essential for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring proper asset management.

Amortisation helps distribute the cost of intangible assets over their useful life, while disposal accounting ensures assets are correctly removed from books when sold, scrapped, or retired.
