Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Asset Management (Fixed Assets, ISO 55001) Training Course in Ghana
Classroom cohorts in Accra · live online · in-house anywhere in Ghana
Unrecorded vehicles, idle equipment, unreconciled registers and unplanned breakdowns quietly drain budgets, and they regularly feature in audit queries on public bodies, parastatals and corporates. A written policy backed by a disciplined asset system turns that exposure into planned, defensible spending.
Five days walk you through the regulatory and standards landscape that governs physical assets: the ISO 55000 family, public financial management rules on custody and disposal, accounting treatment under IPSAS and IFRS, and internal control expectations. You draft an asset management policy and strategic asset management plan, design a fixed asset register with tagging, verification and reconciliation routines, and apply lifecycle costing, condition assessment, risk-based prioritisation and maintenance planning. Later sessions deal with capitalisation, depreciation, impairment, transfers, disposal and write-off, then close with performance indicators, internal audit and a gap assessment against ISO 55001. Asset managers, finance and accounting officers, stores and procurement staff, facilities and maintenance managers, internal auditors and heads of corporate services will find the material directly usable. Offered in the classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate on completion.
About this course
Organisations hold a large share of their value in buildings, plant, vehicles, networks and equipment, yet asset records are often incomplete, out of date or detached from the finance ledger. Auditors increasingly ask for evidence that assets exist, are controlled, are maintained and are disposed of lawfully. Boards, regulators and funders want to see a coherent policy rather than a collection of local practices.
The Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Asset Management (Fixed Assets, ISO 55001) Training Course starts with the principles of asset management and the structure of the ISO 55001 management system standard: context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. Participants then connect these requirements to the legal and accounting rules their organisation faces, including capitalisation thresholds, depreciation methods, revaluation, impairment and disposal procedures. Sessions follow an asset from acquisition planning through operation, maintenance, renewal and retirement, with emphasis on documented roles, approvals and records.
Teaching blends short briefings with drafting workshops. Participants prepare policy wording, a register template, a lifecycle plan for a priority asset class and a gap assessment of their own organisation, so that each person returns with working documents and a realistic improvement roadmap.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the structure and intent of ISO 55001 and its relationship to ISO 55000 and ISO 55002.
- Draft an asset management policy, objectives and strategic asset management plan.
- Design and maintain a fixed asset register that reconciles to the general ledger.
- Apply accounting rules for capitalisation, depreciation, impairment and disposal.
- Use lifecycle costing and risk-based criteria to prioritise maintenance and renewal spending.
- Establish roles, controls and verification routines that withstand internal and external audit.
- Carry out a gap assessment against ISO 55001 and prepare an improvement roadmap.
