Improper methods of fixed assets reporting can lead to losses

Excel SpreadsheetsSpreadsheets weren't designed for the potentially complex job of tracking and managing fixed assets. And that can mean BIG problems for your company:

  • Higher Insurance Premiums - If your spreadsheet isn't accurately tracking fixed assets, you could be paying more than you should. Up to 30% more.*
  • Higher Taxes - Without annual tax updates, you could be missing new deductions and calculations that can save you money – or simply pay more taxes if you're overstating your fixed assets.
  • Direct Financial Loss - There are numerous ways to calculate depreciation, and inaccuracy can mean a big hit to the bottom line. Are you sure your formulas are perfect?
  • Non-compliance - With Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, company officers and auditors could be held personally responsible for mistakes on financial spreadsheets – which can result in fines, public scrutiny, and even imprisonment. Do you trust your spreadsheet that completely? Does your boss?

 

The solution is to get software designed for the job. Get software which will link to Sage Accpac ERP, Sage Pro ERP and many other accounting systems. Get software which has routine tax table updates to keep you compliant.
