- Amortization: Similar to depreciation but applied to intangible assets (e.g., patents, copyrights). It spreads the cost over the asset’s useful life.
- Schedule Preparation: Creating detailed schedules that outline the depreciation and amortization expense for each reporting period, ensuring compliance with accounting standards.
