Does accumulated depreciation close at the end of the period?

Instead, it is a permanent account that carries its balance forward to the next period, reflecting the total depreciation expense recognized against an asset since its acquisition. While depreciation expense is closed to the income summary at period-end, accumulated depreciation remains on the balance sheet to reduce the asset's book value over time.
