Fixed Asset Management involves the strategy and processes for managing a company’s physical and intangible assets. The key components include asset acquisition, recording, depreciation, maintenance, and disposal. Effective Fixed Asset Management is crucial for accurate financial reporting, budget planning, and operational efficiency.
Importance of Fixed Asset Management
Financial Accuracy
Accurate tracking and valuation of fixed assets ensure reliable financial reports. Mistakes can lead to incorrect profit calculations and flawed financial decisions.
Tax Compliance
Accurate depreciation calculation is essential for tax purposes. Companies can deduct depreciation from taxable income, reducing the tax liability.
Budgeting and Planning
Asset management informs future budgets and business plans. Knowing the lifecycle of assets helps plan for maintenance, replacements, and new acquisitions.
Operational Efficiency
Tracking asset utilization can highlight inefficiencies and identify underused assets. This information can drive operational improvements.
Risk Management
A comprehensive fixed asset register helps manage risks related to asset loss, theft, or damage. It also supports insurance claim processes.
Audit Preparedness
Well-managed asset records simplify the audit process, making it easier to provide necessary documentation and answer auditor queries
