The Society of Depreciation Professionals (Society or SDP) was organized to recognize the professional field of depreciation analysis and individuals contributing to this field; to promote the professional development and professional ethics of practitioners in the field of depreciation analysis; to collect and exchange information about depreciation analysis; and to provide a national forum of programs and publications concerning depreciation.

The professional field of depreciation analysis continues to evolve because of the increasing need for objective, competent, and reliable estimates of equipment life, salvage, and cost of removal for capital intensive industries.

Despite diversity of interest among depreciation professionals employed by regulated companies, regulatory commissions, and consulting organizations, there are certain fundamental standards of conduct which are common to all those engaged in the field.
