What it does
This skill automates the generation of professional-grade depreciation schedules from a CSV asset list. It uses a Python-based execution engine to calculate linear depreciation with precision, specifically handling pro-rata calculations—essential for modern accounting standards. It produces a year-by-year breakdown including annual depreciation, cumulative totals, and remaining book values.
Why use this skill
Manually building depreciation tables in Excel is prone to formula errors and inconsistent rounding. This skill ensures mathematical consistency across an entire asset portfolio. It handles the "last year catch-up" logic automatically, ensuring that accumulated depreciation perfectly matches the depreciable base. Unlike simple prompts, it provides a structured Python script approach that accounts for Belgian and European accounting norms, specifically flagging outliers like non-standard depreciation periods.
Supported Tools & Standards
- Python 3 execution environment
