This article explores the methods for assessing asset depreciation in commercial banks, emphasizing their significance for financial transparency, regulatory compliance, and risk management. The study analyzes several key depreciation methods, including the straight-line method, declining balance method, sum-of-the-years-digits, units of production, impairment testing, and revaluation. Each method is evaluated for its applicability to different asset classes, such as fixed assets, loan portfolios, and real estate holdings. Additionally, the challenges of accurately assessing depreciation in complex financial environments are discussed. The findings highlight the need for commercial banks to adopt appropriate depreciation strategies that align with both regulatory standards and market conditions to ensure accurate financial reporting and asset management.
