In grants business, there are two methods to accont for asset grants
1. Direct method- reduce the grant amount from asset and then depreciate
2. Indirect method- reduce the asset value by depreciating and then reduce the grant amount.
Both the ways, results are the same. However, you have to amortise the grant annually for both the processes.
eg. if grant amount is 60,000 and asset life is three years
then grant amount= twenty thousand
