In large or decentralized organizations, fixed asset management can pose complex challenges in administration, access, user-specific customization and system security. Compatibility with existing accounting and business management software can be of equal concern. Whether you’re reporting to senior management, a government agency, auditors, donors and executive boards, or the IRS, you’re accountable for the status and value of your organization’s many fixed assets. Those assets can take the form of buildings, machinery, computers and other electronic equipment, office furnishings, even assets you build. Accurately tracking their varied lifecycles can be a daunting task—especially when there’s so much at stake. Sage Fixed Assets can help.
