Definition: Long-term tangible property used to run a business, such as hardware, equipment, or infrastructure. Reconciliation of fixed assets involves matching the physical inventory or sub-ledger records against the general ledger to ensure accurate depreciation and valuation.
Example: A global asset manager reconciles its fixed asset register against its general ledger to ensure that the depreciation recorded for its data center hardware matches the actual useful life and acquisition cost of the equipment.
