Identify and record newly acquired fixed assets
This task involves identifying and recording any fixed assets that have been newly acquired. It is important to keep track of these assets to ensure accurate financial reporting and to properly manage the asset inventory. The task's impact on the overall process is crucial, as it ensures that all new fixed assets are properly accounted for. The desired result is an updated inventory of newly acquired fixed assets. To complete this task, you will need to conduct a physical inventory check, review purchase orders and invoices, and update the fixed asset register with the necessary information. Challenges that may arise include missing or incomplete documentation or difficulties in accurately identifying and categorizing assets. To overcome these challenges, it is important to communicate with the appropriate departments and conduct thorough research. Required resources include the fixed asset register, purchase orders, invoices, and any relevant supporting documentation.
