Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) Accrual
Recording the future cost of dismantling a specialized facility (like an oil tank or factory) at the end of its life.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory Asset | Asset (+) | 5,000.00 | - |
| ARO Liability | Liability (+) | - | 5,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
If the law requires you to 'clean up' or restore a site after 20 years, you must capitalize that future cost into the asset today and depreciate it over the asset's life.
