Reviewing the Fixed Asset Register
The Fixed Asset Register will be sent out by Central and Research Accounting for the period up to the end of June once the FA module for June is closed. Particular attention should be paid to:
- Ensuring that all assets listed can be physically verified
- Nil value assets – are these still in existence and in use?
- Responsible employees – new starters /leavers?
- Department locations – any relocations/ expansions?
- Tag numbers – are they recorded and correct?
- Asset additions and disposals during the 11 months to June
- Appropriate individual asset descriptions – e.g. not “as attached”
Confirmation of the fixed asset return should be sent to Central and Research Accounting by 10 August with any amendments detailed.
