Omaisuuserien

Omaisuuserien is a Finnish accounting term used to refer to the individual items that constitute the assets side of a balance sheet. The singular form omaisuuserä denotes an asset item; omaisuuserien is the genitive plural form used when referring to several asset items or to the category as a whole, for example in phrases like “omaisuuserien erittely.” The concept is common in Finnish financial reporting and appears in financial statements, audits, and tax documentation as a way to describe and categorize assets.

In practice, asset items cover a range of categories, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, tangible fixed assets (such as land, buildings, and machinery), intangible assets, and financial investments. Each item is recorded with a carrying amount and tracked through changes arising from acquisitions, disposals, depreciation, and impairment. The sum of asset items forms the total assets presented on the balance sheet.

Regulatory context in Finland involves national accounting standards and IFRS where applicable. The term omaisuuserien is primarily encountered in Finnish-language materials and internal accounting discussions, while its English equivalents are commonly rendered as “asset item” or “asset line item.” The usage reflects the practical need to break down the asset side into identifiable items for reporting, auditing, and financial analysis.
