Negative accumulated depreciation typically arises from accounting errors or adjustments rather than a standard practice. It may occur if an asset is revalued upward significantly, surpassing its original cost, or if prior depreciation amounts were overstated and then corrected. Additionally, if an asset is sold or disposed of without properly accounting for its depreciation, this can also lead to a negative balance. However, such situations are uncommon and often require careful review and adjustment in financial statements.
