Fixed Asset Audits for CFOs | Assertive Industries
For Finance & Audit Leaders

Your fixed asset register is costing you more than you can see.

Ghost assets inflate your tax and insurance basis. Untracked disposals create audit exceptions. Unreconciled registers slow down every M&A deal. Assertive Industries has spent 32 years finding what’s hiding in the numbers and fixing it before your auditors do.

The risk isn’t the audit. It’s what the audit finds.

These are the three findings we’re called in to fix most often — usually right before a board meeting, a filing deadline, or a deal.

Ghost assets on the books

Equipment that’s been scrapped, sold, or lost still sits on your register — inflating your tax basis and insurance premiums every year it goes uncorrected.

SOX exceptions you can’t explain

Internal controls audits flag asset discrepancies your team can’t reconcile in time — turning a routine review into a material weakness disclosure.

A register that stalls due diligence

In an M&A deal, an unreconciled fixed asset register is a red flag to the other side’s finance team — and a reason to renegotiate valuation.

Numbers your audit committee will trust.

Every engagement ends with an independent, certified report — built to hold up with auditors, tax authorities, and your board.
