Buildings is a noncurrent or long-term asset account which shows the cost of a building (excluding the cost of the land). Buildings will be depreciated over their useful lives by debiting the income statement account Depreciation Expense and crediting the balance sheet account Accumulated Depreciation.

"I graduated with an accounting degree 10+ years ago. I was up for a job promotion that was going to dive into cost accounting which is something that I haven't really dealt with in my professional career. AccountingCoach was an outstanding refresher course on the core concepts of cost accounting. I studied the materials, retaught myself concepts I haven't thought about for over 10 years, and got the promotion. Using AccountingCoach was the best decision I could have made! Would recommend to anyone!" - Adam C.
