Historically, executives have viewed fixed assets as having appropriate internal controls and low risk from a financial perspective. Now, in the post-SOX era and with broader IFRS adoption, fixed assets are often the biggest line item on the balance sheet and are under greater scrutiny. Inferior records - containing ghost assets, grouped assets, vague descriptions, and other data gaps - expose a business to risk in financial, tax, and regulatory compliance.
