Physical Verification of Assets by NGVR and Company

Physical verification of assets is a critical process to ensure that an entity’s assets exist and align with recorded financial statements. This process is vital for businesses at the end of each financial year to verify the accuracy of asset records and to comply with statutory requirements. At NGVR and Company, we provide comprehensive asset verification services that ensure compliance, accuracy, and transparency in asset management.

Objective of Asset Verification:

  • Statutory Compliance: Meets the requirements under CARO 2016.

  • Asset Existence: Verifies the physical presence of recorded assets.

  • Valuation and Rectification: Identifies and rectifies any accounting discrepancies.

  • Internal Compliance: Supports internal control mechanisms.

  • Customer Service Continuity: Ensures smooth ongoing operations.

Our Approach to Asset Verification:

  1. Comprehensive Reconciliation
    We conduct a detailed line-by-line reconciliation of the fixed asset accounting records with the actual assets identified during physical inventory taking.

  2. Technology-Driven Process
    Automated comparison of asset tags, serial numbers, and manufacturer model numbers.

    Manual checks on additional details such as descriptions, locations, and departments.

  3. Bulk Asset Allocation
    Bulk entries and grouped assets (e.g., computers, equipment) are accurately allocated to individual assets.

  4. Follow-Up and Documentation
    Our team makes follow-up visits to verify residual assets and gather additional information where necessary.

  5. Audit Trail Creation
    We provide a comprehensive audit trail linking the reconciled inventory to the fixed asset records, ensuring traceability.
