Case Study

Company A (which comes under hotel sector) was seeking for the fixed Asset Audit of their Hotels reason being they had too many assets and they did not maintain a proper fixed asset register to keep a track of Fixed assets owned by them, they had approached us for availing the above service.

Our team of experts at B.C Shetty & Co., began verification with a technical plan based on the information generated from the company A and then we began the physical verification with the help of Asset tracking device which tracks information about the assets like Assets classifications/ location/ branch/ Asset User/ Category/ Cost Centre/ Custodian/ Department etc. Our team visited each part of the hotel and physically verified as per the fixed asset register provided to us and we gave each asset a code which made the job easy to track that asset.

After Physical verification we extracted all the data from the Asset tracking device and reconciled by which we matched the asset data with the help of old fixed assets register provided to us and through which we made a new and reliable fixed assets register with a proper Assets classifications/ location/ branch/ Asset User/ Category/ Cost Centre/ Custodian/ Department and also calculated the updated depreciation as per company act and income tax act.

Finally we drafted a Report on the jobs rendered which contained all the information regarding the missing assets, an asset not identified but was there in the old register, asset which needed regrouping, list of asset identified but not there in register and the actual value of the assets which will be submitted to the management of company A.
