Someone skilled in English language please inform me how "being depreciation charges for the month" is correct English. Everyone at work is having a go at me for questioning whether it is correct but no one will explain why they believe it is correct. Personally I think it is incorrect

It is a grammatical construction, but rather ungainly. Here it is in a sentence: The sum of $15000, being depreciation charges for the month, needs to be accounted for in the corporate ledger. Why did you consider it incorrect?

Hello, gilfan—and welcome to English Forums.
The phrase does look suspect, but there is no way for us to judge it unless you post at least the complete sentence that it appears in.
