Depreciation Studies

A Flexible Analytical Solution for All Methods of Depreciation Analysis

 

A Trusted Analytical Tool With Robust Workflow and Reporting and a Flexible Data Structure that Handles All Types of Analysis.

All asset-intensive companies need the ability to do rigorous depreciation studies to maximize their financial performance and increase regulatory compliance. PowerPlan Depreciation Studies provides a full set of industry-standard statistical tools used in forecasting asset service lives, salvage and removal costs, and in calculating annual depreciation accrual rates and determining reserve adequacy. PowerPlan Depreciation Studies is in production today at dozens of asset-intensive companies (across a variety of industries), industry consultants and state commissions to manage this critical operation.

The Depreciation Study module provides an intuitive, seamless and self-documenting workflow process for analyzing current depreciation rates and their associated mortality curves and lives. To move through the stages of conducting a study, the analyst merely navigates through an intuitive workflow. The workflow includes simple configuration tools that allow all parameters and account characteristics to be stored in the system and linked to the study.

The Depreciation Studies system integrates the various components of a study (service life analysis, salvage analysis, depreciation calculations, etc.) into a single data structure. As a result, the solution has the flexibility to accommodate all types of analysis. An Analyst may perform a single type of analysis for all accounts, or may progress from step-to-step for each individual account. In addition, an analyst can create numerous “Analysis DataSets” and “Scenarios” to run multiple analyses with data modifications and/or alternate parameters.
