Nationwide Asset Count
A public entity that finances government employees purchases of durable goods such as furniture, white goods and electronic appliances required the support of RGIS. It operates through 76 offices nationwide.
REQUIREMENT

- Fixed asset count of all 76 offices
- Each office had 100 to 1,500 assets
- Check all assets
- Variances to be generated
- Validate variances for each office
SOLUTION
The public entity partnered with RGIS to complete the following:
- A team of seven experienced RGIS auditors were teamed with two internal auditors
- 18,000 assets were counted in total
- Assets included office furniture and equipment
- Validated all assets
- Variances identified from original asset register
- Discrepancies to asset information including descriptions were corrected
RESULTS
The public entity found by outsourcing the fixed asset count to RGIS, the following was successfully achieved:
- All the assets owned were verified
- The asset register updated with correct descriptions
- Assets could be moved from different offices rather than purchasing new assets
