Asset Componentization Services

Asset componentization is the process of breaking down complex assets into their individual components for accounting purposes. Each component with a significantly different useful life is recorded separately, allowing for more accurate depreciation schedules and financial reporting that complies with GAAP and IFRS standards.

Componentization is typically required for significant assets with components that have materially different useful lives. Common examples include buildings (structure, HVAC, electrical, roofing), manufacturing equipment, power generation facilities, and transportation assets. The specific requirements depend on your accounting policies and materiality thresholds.

Project timelines vary based on the number and complexity of assets involved. A single facility componentization may take 4-8 weeks, while enterprise-wide projects spanning multiple locations can take several months. We provide detailed timelines during our initial assessment based on your specific scope.

We typically need your current fixed asset register, original purchase documentation, technical specifications or engineering drawings where available, and access to the physical assets for inspection. Our team will work with you to gather the necessary information during the project kickoff.

We use a combination of manufacturer specifications, industry standards, engineering assessments, and your organization's historical experience with similar assets. Our approach considers both physical and functional obsolescence factors to establish appropriate useful life estimates.

Yes, we format all deliverables for compatibility with major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. We work with your IT team to ensure smooth data integration and can provide upload support as needed.

Yes, we offer ongoing services to componentize new asset additions as they are acquired. This ensures your asset register remains compliant and accurate over time. We can establish a recurring engagement or handle new assets on a project basis.

Deliverables include a detailed component breakdown for each asset, cost allocation documentation, recommended useful lives and depreciation methods, ERP-ready data files, and supporting documentation for audit purposes. We also provide a summary report with methodology explanations.
