Fictitious Assets are not assets which are tangible and visible like buildings, machinery , computer but the expenditure on some activity which is considered as a Capital expenditure instead of Revenue expenditure. When expenditure incurred amount is not debited to Profit and Loss A/C but shown as Fictitious asset and over a period the amount is writtenoff or debited to Pand L account. For example Share issue expenses by a Corporate, This is not debited to P& L A/c in the year in which it is incurred but debited in instalments as decided by Management over few years.

Fictitious assets are the expenses incurred by a Corporate which are not charged to P& L A/c in the same year like Share Issue and Management expenses,These expenses are charged to Pand L A/C over a period of 3 to 5 years. As assets cannot be seen physically but the benefit of such expenditure spreads over a period such expenses are known as Fictitious assets

There are certain expenditures/expenses, the benefit of which is not limited to one particular year. Therefore, the whole of these expenses cannot be charged to the profit and loss account at once and hence they are deferred.

For e.g. Share Issue Expenses, Discount of Issue of Debentures, etc.

Also the debit balance of Profit and Loss Account (loss) is a Fictitious Asset. It is to be cancelled out or adjusted with profit of subsequent years or reserves.

It is an imaginary assets i.e.,it can neither be seen nor we can touch. Lets take an example-a company after its incorporation may make an huge expenditure for an advertisement. If the company debited the same amount in the P/L a/c, the status of co. At the very beginning status may be affected due to heavy expenses...so what we do? We charge it to the asset side of B/S as a fictitious assets and write off it every year and charge to the P/L a/c as per the judgement of the management.
