Asset Disposal prior year not reflected on Balance Sheet - Corrective action

Hi,
If an item on the balance sheet was disposed of in a previous year and had not been removed from the balance sheet would you restate the prior year accounts on this basis or just show the disposal in year and add a note to the accounts. Would you speak to the auditors prior to this aswell. Has anybody had this previously and if so how did you address it. Any advice welcome.

Hi,
Account for it as if it was disposed of in the current year.

We had that issue and we dealt with it in the current year too and just gave the auditors the heads up. I guess materiality might play a part but ours was immaterial.

I would run it by the auditors. You don’t want to take an approach they haven’t agreed with, for them to ask you to change things later on. As above, materiality may be the deciding factor.

The Code has requirements for when you correct a prior period error by restating a prior year.Refers only to correction of material errors. If the error is not material, just put it through current year.
