Auditing Assets
Prepare, Perform, and Record Assets Audits
Asset inventory audit is an essential part of physical asset management. Accurate inventory audits allow you to understand where your assets are and what their status is.
But performing an accurate audit in an efficient manner can be a challenge. Let’s explore how eQuip! can help you meet these challenges and accelerate your auditing process.
Auditing methods
The eQuip! asset inventory management software can support various methods for auditing assets:
- Audit by validation
- Statistical Sampling
- Wall to Wall inventory audit
Audit by Validation
- Define a certain set of actions in the life cycle management of assets as audit by validation
- Generate a report that identify assets that haven’t been validated for a certain period of time
- Save time and labor hours by only conducting physical audit on these assets that haven’t been validated
Statistical Sampling
- Define a strategy to systematically audit all inventory over a period of time
- Institute routine tasks by generating a monthly list for physical audits
Wall to Wall
- Set current site or location
- Scan assets using eQuip! Mobile to quickly audit all assets
