About Fixed Assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fixed Assets (“Assets”) represent long-term resources owned by your organisation, such as equipment, property, or vehicles. Assets can be monitored by value and depreciation over time, allowing you to manage them effectively and account for their impact on your club’s financial position.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assets are grouped into various categories, such as property, fixtures and fitting, and computer equipment. They are also referred to as capital assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use Clubtreasurer to simply track your organisation’s Assets (with no financial data) or fully account for them in your Financial Statements (Profit Loss\/Income Statement and Balance Sheet) including depreciation, revaluations and impairments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fixed Asset Accounting vs Cash Accounting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Clubtreasurer uses “modified cash basis accounting” which is a method that combines elements of the two major bookkeeping practices: cash <\/strong>and accrual <\/strong>accounting.  Strictly, this method does not allow for Fixed Asset accounting as some costs and income recognised are not cash flows, eg. depreciation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, when adopting Fixed Asset accounting in Clubtreasurer you must be aware that non-cash transactions will only be reported on the Fixed Asset Reports and Financial Statements (Profit Loss\/Income Statement and Balance Sheet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fixed Asset Non-Cash Transactions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Opening Fixed Asset Balances<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Depreciation costs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Revaluations<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Impairments<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Impairment Losses<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Disposal Losses<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Disposal Gains<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Just as importantly, Fixed Asset accounting will also generate Receipt and Payment transactions which will be shown on all appropriate Reports, as these are recording cash inflows and outflows just like normal transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fixed Asset Cash Transactions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Initial Capital Asset Purchases (Payments)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Additional Capital Asset Purchases (Payments)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Asset Disposal Costs (Payments)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Asset Sale Proceeds (Receipts)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
