DEPRECIATION
REPORTS
A Depreciation Report (Reserve Fund Study) is first and foremost a financial planning process that is intended to analyze, assess and plan the funding for Contingency Reserves.
The purpose of this analysis is to identify the funding needs within the Contingency Reserve Fund, in order to make recommendations to ensure that sufficient funding is available for future repairs and replacement of the common building elements or assets of a Strata Corporation.
The Institute of Real Estate Studies defines a Depreciation Report (Reserve Fund Study) as a plan for the “provision of resources for major repairs and replacements of building components and improvements, or common elements, over time to ensure adequate funding of all future capital expenditures when required.”
An effective Depreciation Report (Reserve Fund Study) should:
Identify and analyze all common reserve components, including:
Description
Expected lifespan
Current physical condition
Effective age (physical and functional)
Repair history and costs
Estimated remaining useful life
Provide a financial analysis for each component, including:
Current replacement cost estimate
Future replacement cost projection with inflation rates
Future reserve requirements projection with long-term interest rates"
Provide a recommended funding model, which if adhered to, will result in sufficient funds to cover all future reserve fund expenditures.
In B.C. two alternative funding models must also be included.
