- 2. XYZ is conducting an audit of the property, plant, and equipment records of AQA Corporation. XYZ selected two specific assets for closer inspection. XYZ has examined documentation related to each asset's original purchase and compared it to the recorded cost, physically inspected the item to determine that it is still in the possession of the company and conducted other similar assurance procedures. The final step in the audit of these accounts is to test the calculations of depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation. XYZ has asked you to perform this final procedure for 2018. Below is a schedule of the two assets, with the depreciation values determined by AQA. The building was depreciated by the straight-line method, and the truck by the double-declining balance method.
