Fixed Assets Management
Overview
There are two general classifications of assets, short-term assets and fixed assets. Short-term assets are those that remain on the books for less than one year. Short-term assets include things such as cash and office supplies which are commonly used up in a short amount of time. Fixed assets are those assets that remain on the books for more than one year. The IRS defines fixed assets as property or equipment with an estimated life in excess of one year.

Examples of the types of books are the Main book used to post depreciation to your General Ledger, the Federal Tax book used to report depreciation to the IRS, the Alternative Minimum Tax book (AMT), and the Adjusted Current Earnings book (ACE).
