Account Determination for Accumulated Depreciation
Use
The law requires you to post accumulated depreciation to different accounts, depending on the asset class (for example, buildings or machinery). Accumulated depreciation accounts for fixed assets come under the synthetic account 257; those for intangible assets come under the account 267.
