Description

Welcome to our comprehensive course on Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE), also known as fixed assets or depreciable assets. In this course, we will dive deep into the world of PPE and provide you with a thorough understanding of how to effectively manage and account for these critical assets in your financial statements.

We will begin by exploring the fundamental concepts of PPE, including what it represents and why it is essential for businesses. You will learn how to accurately record PPE transactions, ensuring that they are properly recognized and reflected in your accounting records.

One of the key aspects of managing PPE is depreciation, which reflects the gradual wear and tear or obsolescence of these assets over time. We will cover multiple depreciation methods to help you determine the most appropriate approach for your organization. The straight-line depreciation method, widely used for its simplicity, will be thoroughly explained along with its calculation techniques. Additionally, we will delve into the double declining balance method, an accelerated depreciation approach that allocates higher depreciation in the earlier years of an asset's life. Furthermore, we will explore the units of production method, which bases depreciation on the actual usage or production output of the asset.

Understanding the difference between capital expenditures and revenue expenditures is crucial in properly classifying PPE-related costs. We will guide you through the intricacies of distinguishing between these expenditure types and how to accurately record them in your financial statements.

Disposing of PPE is another critical aspect we will address. Whether through sale, retirement, or other means, you will learn the proper accounting treatment and journal entries for PPE disposals. We will also cover the scenarios where PPE may or may not be fully depreciated and discuss how to account for any cash or non-cash transactions involved in the disposal process.

Throughout the course, we will provide a comprehensive overview of key terms and definitions related to property, plant, and equipment, ensuring that you are familiar with the necessary vocabulary and terminology used in this domain.

To enhance your learning experience, the course includes valuable resources such as downloadable PDF files, preformatted Excel practice files, multiple-choice practice questions, short calculation questions, and engaging discussion prompts. These resources will support your understanding, reinforce concepts, and provide opportunities for hands-on practice and active participation in the learning process.

Your instructor, a highly experienced professional with extensive knowledge in accounting concepts and practical expertise in software like QuickBooks, will guide you through the course. With certifications such as being a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), and possessing a Master of Science in Taxation, the instructor brings a wealth of real-world insights and teaching experience to help you master the intricacies of PPE accounting.

By the end of this course, you will have gained a comprehensive understanding of property, plant, and equipment, enabling you to effectively manage, account for, and make informed decisions regarding these valuable assets in your organization's financial statements.
