Abstract

Depreciation of assets plays a crucial role in the financial health and stability of any organization, and this is especially true for commercial banks. Banks heavily invest in assets such as buildings, equipment, and technology, which depreciate over time. Effective accounting for this depreciation is vital for accurate financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making. As the banking sector evolves with technological advancements and changing regulatory landscapes, approaches to improving the accounting of depreciation have become more critical. This article explores the modern approaches to enhancing depreciation accounting in commercial banks, ensuring better financial transparency and asset management.
