Benchmark Analysis for Depreciation Reports

The Benchmark Analysis shows the physical aspects of the various Depreciation Report / reserve components, including the life cycle analysis and the cost estimates on a single spreadsheet for convenient examination and easy reference. The cost estimates are pursuant to prudent reserve fund practices, which provide for inflationary cost increases over time and interest income from reserve fund investments.

The depreciation report estimates are prepared without regard to the current financial position of the corporation or the current reserve fund contributions by unit owners, and as such, they represent the optimum reserve fund operation, which assumes that the corporation has continuously assessed adequate reserve funding from the beginning.

The Benchmark Analysis is the foundation of the Functional Reserve Fund Planning System, as it provides the basis for comparison to the actual reserve fund operation. The Benchmark Analysis provides the standard for reserve fund planning and property maintenance, and as such, it is a valuable management and maintenance resource document.
