This document discusses the importance of fixed asset management and control procedures for projects. It defines a fixed asset as a high-value asset with a useful life of over one year, such as vehicles, furniture, and equipment. Fixed assets need to be managed through registers like the Fixed Assets Register (FAR) and Fixed Assets Issue Register (FAIR) to track details, locations, and custodians. Standard control procedures include tagging assets, insuring high-value items, conducting physical inventories, and cross-referencing financial and asset records. Physical verification helps ensure assets still exist and are in good condition by comparing book balances to physical counts.
