This fixed assets schedule is important to maintain because it is highly critical in understanding the accounts of the company. The fixed assets are not disposable in short time therefore it is important to keep a check on their costing and their utility over time so that the company does not have to procure any significant losses due to mismanagement of these  schedules. To achieve it, there are company auditors who routinely check on the balance of the account on the fixed asset and trace the items listed to the general ledger balance. Since these assets are fixed which means that they find importance in the production process of the company, there are some points which could be taken into account for a better management of these schedules.

• Keep the bracket for total capital high so that fixed assets could be easily accommodated in the general account balance.
• Get rid of the unused and the disposable items so that the cost procured by them can be retained.

Along with the fixed assets in check, their accountability has to be maintained as well. Many companies rely on their own auditors to do so but sometimes the manual job of these people may come across as non-efficient. TRANS-series come into the picture when such issues arise. This is highly reliable when a fixed assets schedule has to be considered.

. The General Ledger system of TRANS-series provides sub-modules which accommodate all the features required for the same including fixed assets schedule. The accounting system has been developed on the basis of the level of implementation it can achieve for the companies.

Why opt for TRANS-series?

The system is completely unbiased and is therefore good for companies which requires authentic audit for their accounts without any mismanagement happening in the process. As we are aware that many companies try to hire auditors to do their audit so that they can be relied on for the entire process. But this approach comes with a big burn in the company’s pocket. It is unlikely that any agency would not seek maximum profit during the process of audit. Also, it should be better avoided to involve a third party to avoid mismanagement and lessened efficiency. Adding to it, it is not possible for an agency to understand the internal operational cost as correctly as someone from the company would.

For fixed assets the problem during accounting is relatively more difficult. If a machine has been used irregularly, it is important to calculate the accounts according to that time frame. Manual accounting tends to miss out some of the most important aspects of it. Apart from that, it is important to take into consideration the acquisition, sale, disposal or depreciation slip when valuing the fixed assets. TRANS-series is competent to do the mentioned works to meet the objective of the accounting of fixed assets.
