Stock-takes
A stock-take is an important internal control mechanism that reconciles the asset register, to confirm it is a
complete and accurate record of an entity's physical asset holdings. Unreconciled differences should be subject
to investigation and follow-up of exceptions.
A stock-take can be used to:
verify the physical existence and completeness of assets recorded on the asset register;
review current useful lives and consider asset condition and asset performance indicators such as
functionality, criticality and utilisation;
verify the proof of licence for software assets and that software assets are being used according to the
terms and conditions of the licence; and
assess the accuracy of details recorded on the asset register.
For entities with large asset or inventory levels, an efficient facilitation method involves bar-code labels which can
be attached to each asset when first available for use. The stock-take can then be conducted efficiently through
the use of bar-code scanners that download results back to a central data repository.
The results of stock-takes, including remedial action on exceptions, should be signed off by a suitable delegate,
often a senior official from the entity's financial services group.
