Fixed assets
Fixed assets support operations over the long term rather than being sold in the ordinary course of business. They usually require capitalization, depreciation, impairment review, and disposal controls.
Why it matters
Weak fixed-asset control distorts both profit and asset values. It also creates audit issues, tax exposure, and poor capital-planning visibility.
How teams use it
Finance and operations teams manage fixed assets through capitalization rules, location tracking, useful-life schedules, depreciation runs, and asset disposal workflows.
