Article ID: 3099
Last updated: 13 Aug, 2020

Where Apply advanced rounding rules has been selected, a check will be made on the un-rounded and rounded totals of Cost and separately of Depreciation/Amortisation of each Fixed Assets. 

Where a difference occurs, the rounding amount will be allocated to an account code within Cost and separately of Depreciation/Amortisation within the same asset.

For Example (Illustration only)

ROUNDING DIFFERENCE

(1)

-

You will see from the example above that the rounding difference of £1 occurs where the un-rounded total of Plant and Equipment differs to the rounded total. 

The rounding difference is then allocated to the first account with a balance that affects the Cost of that asset (other than Cost B/F), in this example that is Additions.

The same rule will apply to the Cost of each asset and will also be applied to the Depreciation/Amortisation of each asset.

The following table shows the account groups (rounding will NOT be allocated to the accounts in the B/F column)
