B, old customers get the last year's papers, according to the elements of the last year's papers, fill in the new fixed assets this year, and check whether they are consistent with the subsidiary ledger, general ledger and statement schedule after completion.

When compiling and checking this table, the common problems are as follows: a, the enterprise's account books are not classified according to the classification standards in the attached table; B, enterprise classification, not in accordance with the principle of consistency, that is, the classification standards of similar assets last year and this year are inconsistent;

Tip: a, enterprises are required to classify the account books according to the classification standard of the schedule (the assets accounted for in each category are fixed, but it does not mean that they were accounted for in houses and buildings last year and will become machinery and equipment this year); B require the enterprise to handle it according to the principle of consistency, that is, compare the fixed assets of this year with the number at the end of last year. If there is any difference, ask the customer to explain the reasons or make adjustments.

Implement the fixed assets supervision plan:

(1) Among the newly added fixed assets in this period, select appropriate items, observe and check the fixed assets on the spot (if it is the first time to accept the entrustment, the corresponding procedures should be implemented at the beginning), determine whether it exists, and record the current actual use;

(2) Observe whether there are fixed assets that have been scrapped but not written off;

(3) Observe whether there are sealed or idle fixed assets;

The ledger of the customer's equipment management department generally includes the fixed asset number, fixed asset name, quantity, specification, storage location, responsible custodian, etc. In the initial audit, it is necessary to check the subsidiary ledger with the fixed assets account, but not everyone conducts spot checks and needs to make statistics in combination with the importance and particularity of each company; B, when checking, there may be two accounts that do not correspond, mainly the name and classification. If the difference is small, try to find out the reason and check it. If there is a big difference that cannot be checked, the financial records shall prevail and be checked with the physical objects. If there are differences, all records are required; C. If participating in the final inventory of customers, the inventory list of fixed assets shall be the auditor's spot check record; If the customer makes an inventory after this date, the inventory list of fixed assets should be the auditor's inventory withdrawal record.
