A depreciation report is a planning model, not a promise of timing or cost. Its value comes from comparing forecast components and funding assumptions with newer minutes, budgets, inspections, and completed work.
Decision points
- 01
Check the report date and physical inspection date.
- 02
Identify major components inside your ownership horizon.
- 03
Compare recommended funding with actual contributions and decisions.
Read the assumptions first
Record inflation, interest, component life, contingency assumptions, and funding scenarios. A long forecast can look precise while remaining highly sensitive to these inputs.
Reconcile forecast and reality
Look for work completed since the report, projects deferred or repriced, new failures, and changes in reserve contributions. Use the exposure calculator for scenarios, then ask whether an engineer or other specialist should review the relevant system.
