Asset management policy

Keeps the asset register real, and the assets accounted for.

What it does

Keeps the asset register real, and the assets accounted for.

How it is drafted

Cover capitalisation thresholds and classification; the asset register and its reconciliation to the financial statements; acquisition and disposal authority; the annual verification count and who performs it; depreciation and impairment; insurance; and the treatment of assets allocated to individuals, including devices.

What to look out for

The verification count is the clause that gets skipped, and it is the one an auditor tests. Name the month, name the person, and require an exception report; a register that has never been counted against the floor is an estimate.
