Fixed Assets / PPE

Block-wise roll-forward by asset class. Schedule II useful-life check. Sec 32 depreciation for வரிக் கணக்காய்வு.

Fixed Assets roll-forward by class

The Fixed Asset Register is the primary source for PPE roll-forward. CORAA reads the FA register and composes the block-wise schedule per நிறுவனங்கள் Act 2013 Schedule II: Gross Block, Additions, Disposals, Depreciation Charge, Depreciation Reversed on Disposal, and Net Block. Schedule II useful-life சரிபார்ப்பு runs against the auditee's declared depreciation method. பிரிவு 32 depreciation under the Income Tax Act for the வரிக் கணக்காய்வு composes alongside.

  • Block-wise roll-forward per நிறுவனங்கள் Act 2013 Schedule II
  • Asset classes: Buildings, Plant & Machinery, Furniture, Vehicles, IT, Intangibles
  • Schedule II useful-life சரிபார்ப்பு against declared method
  • பிரிவு 32 Income Tax Act depreciation for வரிக் கணக்காய்வு
  • Put-to-use date logic for mid-year additions (half-rate for under 180 days)
  • Impairment triggers flagged at disposals at loss
Two paths, one ledger

The old way, and ours.

Two paths to the same audit conclusion. One leaves traces; the other doesn't.

Traditional

The old way

  • -FA register maintained in Excel by the auditee
  • -Roll-forward computed manually with separate columns for நிறுவனம்-law and IT-Act depreciation
  • -Schedule II compliance assessed on aggregate, not asset-by-asset
  • -பிரிவு 32 வரிக் கணக்காய்வு table re-created from scratch
FA roll-forward build time: 4-8 hours. வரிக் கணக்காய்வு table errors: typical.

On the Ledger

  • FA register ingested at Tier III
  • Block-wise roll-forward composed தானாகவே
  • Schedule II useful-life சரிபார்க்கப்பட்டது per asset class against declared method
  • பிரிவு 32 depreciation auto-computed with put-to-use date logic
  • Cross-tie between Note 11 PPE (Schedule II) and Form 3CD Clause 18 (Sec 32) enforced
FA roll-forward instant. Sch II and Sec 32 both produced from the same register.
How it works

Three steps. Every trace logged.

Step 01

Upload Fixed Asset Register

The FA register is uploaded at Tier III. Standard format: per-asset rows with Asset Code, Description, Class, Cost, Date of Put-to-Use, Accumulated Depreciation Opening, Depreciation Charged, Disposals, Accumulated Depreciation Closing, WDV.

Step 02

Block-wise composition

Assets aggregate by class into blocks: Buildings (10% under Sec 32), Plant & Machinery (15%), Furniture (10%), Vehicles (15%), IT (40%), and so on. The block-wise roll-forward composes per Schedule II for நிறுவனம் law and per Sec 32 for tax.

Step 03

Useful-life and impairment checks

For each asset class, Schedule II prescribes a useful life. CORAA checks the depreciation rate against the prescribed life and flags variance. Disposals at a loss are impairment triggers requiring கணக்காய்வாளர் review.

Inside the module

What you actually get.

Schedule II useful-life சரிபார்ப்பு

Schedule II of நிறுவனங்கள் Act 2013 prescribes useful lives for asset classes (Buildings 30-60 years, P&M 8-25 years, Furniture 10 years, etc.). CORAA verifies the depreciation method (SLM or WDV) consistency with these lives.

  • Per-class useful life check
  • SLM vs WDV consistency
  • Residual value assumption capture
  • Variance disclosure required

பிரிவு 32 depreciation for வரிக் கணக்காய்வு

பிரிவு 32 of the Income Tax Act prescribes block-rate depreciation (different from Schedule II rates). CORAA composes the Sec 32 schedule alongside, with put-to-use date logic for mid-year additions.

  • Block rates per Sec 32
  • Put-to-use date capture
  • Half-rate for under 180 days
  • Form 3CD Clause 18 auto-populated

Impairment trigger detection

AS 28 requires impairment testing when an asset shows signs of impairment. CORAA flags disposals at a loss, idle assets with significant accumulated depreciation, and assets in lines of வணிகம் under restructuring.

  • Disposal-at-loss flag
  • Idle asset detection
  • Restructuring-impacted assets
  • AS 28 impairment test trigger

CWIP roll-forward integration

Capital Work-in-Progress (Note 12) often capitalizes into PPE during the year. CORAA tracks the CWIP-to-PPE transfer with appropriate கணக்காய்வுத் தடம்.

  • CWIP balance roll-forward
  • Capitalization events tracked
  • Sch III Note 12 disclosure auto-filled
  • CARO 2020 Cl 1(b) ageing for delayed projects
Frequently asked

Answers, up front.

Schedule II permits the auditee to adopt different useful lives if justified, with disclosure. CORAA prompts for the justification when rates deviate from prescribed lives. The deviation and rationale go into Note 11 PPE.
Sec 32 of the Income Tax Act allows full year's depreciation if the asset is put to use for 180 days or more in the year, and half-year's depreciation if for less than 180 days. CORAA captures the put-to-use date for each addition and applies the correct rate.
Intangibles (goodwill, software, brands, patents) compose into Note 13 Intangible Assets. The amortization schedule follows AS 26 / Ind AS 38. Goodwill from acquisitions surfaces impairment testing requirements; software and brands have prescribed useful lives.
