Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how depreciation is presented in company accounts. The Profit & Loss account shows the current year's depreciation expense. The Balance Sheet, however, reflects the asset's carrying amount less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Accumulated depreciation from previous years is also detailed on the Balance Sheet, reducing the asset's net book value.

Current year in profit and loss and balance sheet. Accumulated in balance sheet. 

Bs asset value= asset carrying amount-accumulated depreciation-impairment. 

In profit and loss account , we show current year depreciation , if any accumulated depreciation of previous years will be shown in Liability side in balance sheet .
Also we reduce the value of Asset by charging depreciation .

entry will be
Depreciation A/c Dr
To Asset A,/c Cr
( Depreciation charged )
Current year depreciation
Current year depreciation
