HI
If tangible assets transfer between divisions or between division and the main company with out transfering their possession , should the company or divisions recognize the asset and their related cost?If not , what shall we do?thanks

All that is relevant for Paper PM is as to measuring divisional performance, and what matters there is who controls the assets – all assets in the division will be owned by the company, a division is not a legal entity but is part of the company.

i have encountered with this topic at work and i do not know what shall i do ? may i guide me?
thanksJanuary 5, 2019 at 11:01 am #500064A division is not usually a separate company – it is part of one big company and therefore it is the company that owns all the assets.
If there are separate companies then it becomes a consolidation problem which is financial accounting and you should ask in the FR forum and not in the PM forum, because it is not relevant for Paper PM.
