When is a House Not a House?
When it needs to be accounted for using a SORP 2008 Component Accounting Asset Register.
The picture shows how a house now needs to be individually accounted for by its component parts. Those listed are just the ones on the outside, when you add the details of kitchens, bathrooms, boilers etc. which are linked to a property you can see how asset registers are expanding by a factor of 10 or more.
SORP 2008 demands that every asset is broken down into its component parts, with each component potentially having different economically useful lifespans.
