Anlægsaktivernes

Anlægsaktivernes refers to fixed assets in Danish accounting. These are tangible and intangible assets that a company expects to use for more than one accounting period, typically more than one year. Unlike current assets, which are expected to be converted to cash or consumed within a year, fixed assets are acquired for long-term use in the operations of the business. Examples of tangible fixed assets include buildings, machinery, vehicles, and land. Intangible fixed assets can include patents, copyrights, trademarks, and goodwill.

The accounting treatment for fixed assets involves their initial recognition at cost, which includes the purchase price and any directly attributable costs incurred to bring the asset to its intended use. Over time, tangible fixed assets are depreciated to reflect their gradual wear and tear or obsolescence. Depreciation is an expense that is recognized in the income statement over the useful life of the asset. Intangible assets are typically amortized, which is a similar process to depreciation but applied to intangible assets.

Fixed assets are reported on the balance sheet under the non-current assets section. Their carrying amount on the balance sheet is the original cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Companies must also consider potential impairment of fixed assets, which occurs when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. If an impairment loss is recognized, the asset's value on the balance sheet is reduced accordingly. The management and disposal of fixed assets are important aspects of financial management, impacting a company's operational efficiency and financial reporting.
