Organisations lose money quietly through assets that cannot be found, equipment that fails early, ghost items on the register and capital projects that are never capitalised. Strong asset control protects balance sheets, passes audits and extends the working life of costly equipment. Over five days, finance, engineering and operations staff learn to manage assets as one connected system.
Sessions cover acquisition planning, tagging, the fixed asset register, physical verification, capitalisation policy, depreciation, revaluation, impairment, transfers and disposals under IAS 16 and IPSAS 17. You then move to lifecycle costing, criticality ranking, maintenance strategy and risk-based capital planning, and learn the structure of ISO 55001: policy, strategic asset management plan, objectives, performance evaluation and continual improvement. Practical sessions build a register and a gap assessment against the standard. The course suits finance and accounting officers, asset and facilities managers, maintenance and engineering leads, internal auditors, procurement staff and public sector accountants. It is offered in classrooms, online or in-house. Participants leave able to clean up a register, set up verification routines and draft an improvement roadmap. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded on completion.
For many organisations, fixed assets are the largest line on the balance sheet and the least well controlled. Registers fall out of date, equipment moves without records, depreciation is applied inconsistently and maintenance spending is decided without regard to asset condition or criticality. Auditors repeatedly raise these findings in government, parastatals, NGOs and private firms alike.
The Operational Excellence in Asset Management (Fixed Assets, ISO 55001) Training Course joins the accounting and engineering sides of asset management. Participants first establish sound foundations, namely classification, tagging, a complete register, capitalisation thresholds and physical verification. They then apply depreciation, impairment, revaluation and disposal accounting, and examine how lifecycle costs, condition data and risk should guide maintenance and replacement. The programme introduces ISO 55000 and ISO 55001 requirements and shows how to build a management system that fits an organisation's size and sector.
The approach is hands-on. Delegates use sample registers, verification sheets and calculation templates, perform a gap assessment against the standard, and finish with an improvement roadmap and a set of measures for tracking asset performance.
Participants completing the course will be able to:
