Top Tips for Better Asset Management
Though Fixed Assets for Sage 100 makes your accounting process easier to handle with up-to-date depreciation calculations and tracking, it’s a smart idea to ensure that your numbers are error free when you input them into the system.
Experts suggest that you:
- Start your tracking right
Accuracy is the name of the game in fixed asset management, so the first and best way for you to ensure that your numbers are correct is to double-check them.
Don’t risk your reputation or your job on an old system or old counts. When you take over asset management for your company and install new software, you may want to perform a thorough physical inventory count, as well as track down maintenance records and purchase receipts.
- Reassess your figures
As you re-determine your assets, you’ll want to think critically about the amount of useful life you can truly expect from each of them. Sometimes you may be able to extend an investment’s life or value due to upgrades, remodels, or appraisals, but if your buildings or equipment are poorly maintained, they’ll wear out faster.
In addition, make sure you note down “ghost” assets. These are assets that are still marked as owned by the company, but which are actually broken, sold, or missing. When you’ve completed your assessments, list your up-to-date counts, values, and statuses in your Fixed Assets for Sage 100 system.
