Assets Overview
Assets in the LKE (Ledger Kernel Engine) represent value units — monetary or non-monetary — used in accounting entries. The system implements a two-level architecture that combines operational flexibility with accounting integrity.
Assets Architecture
Global Assets
Universal definitions that establish standards for assets that can be used across multiple accounting contexts. They serve as templates that ensure consistency and facilitate reconciliations between different systems.
- Maintain common and traceable identity
- Define standardized denominations
- Classify assets by operational type (Fiat vs Non-Fiat)
Bound Assets
Contextual specializations of Global Assets within specific Ledgers. They allow adaptations for specific operational, regulatory, or technical needs without compromising global traceability.
- Override specific configurations when necessary
- Maintain link with the original Global Asset
- Ensure immutability of accounting relationships

Detailed Documentation
Global Assets
Complete specification on universal asset definitions, including:
- Operational classification (Fiat vs Non-Fiat)
- Standardized denomination structure
- Practical classification guides
- Configuration examples
Bound Assets
Specification on contextual asset specialization, covering:
- Asset binding to specific Ledgers
- Relationships with Books and Entries
- Accounting integrity guarantees
- Compliance with IAS 1 and IAS 8 standards
Fundamental Principles
Global Traceability
All asset usage maintains a link with its global definition, enabling cross-ledger reconciliations and auditing.
Accounting Immutability
Once relationships between Bound Assets, Books, and Entries are established, they are preserved to ensure historical integrity.
Controlled Specialization
Allows necessary contextual adaptations without compromising the identity and consistency of global assets.
Regulatory Compliance
Alignment with international accounting principles, especially IAS 1 (faithful representation) and IAS 8 (prospective treatment).
