What reviewers usually validate first
These are the areas teams usually discuss first once the calculation or analysis is visible.
Confirm beginning balances match prior period ending balances from the general ledger or prior audit.
Verify that capital additions are supported by purchase orders, invoices, and proper capitalization thresholds.
Check that disposal amounts reflect the correct net book value removed and any gain or loss on sale.
Confirm the depreciation method and useful life assumptions are consistent with policy and prior periods.
Evaluate whether any assets show indicators of impairment that require a write-down beyond normal depreciation.
Identify differences between book depreciation and tax depreciation that affect deferred tax calculations.
