Accumulated Depreciation

Accumulated depreciation is the total depreciation expense recorded on an asset since its purchase. It reduces the asset’s book value on the balance sheet, reflecting wear and tear or obsolescence. By tracking accumulated depreciation, businesses align asset values with usage over time, ensuring accurate financial reporting and tax calculations.
