Classification of Assets

Assets may be classified into Current and Non-Current.

The distinction is made on the basis of time period in which the economic benefits from the asset will flow to the entity.

Current Assets are ones that an entity expects to use within one-year time from the reporting date.

Non Current Assets are those whose benefits are expected to last more than one year from the reporting date.
