When does Depreciation start?

Record-to-Report (R2R) · Article FAQ

Detailed Explanation

Under IAS 16, depreciation generally begins when an asset is available for use, meaning it is in the location and condition necessary to operate as intended by management. It does not necessarily begin when the purchase order is approved, the invoice is received, or production starts.
