Items and information captured in a fixed asset register
Fixed assets are longer term investments which provide value to a business and are depreciated over a period of years. Organisations have the flexibility to capture as little or as much detail required for each asset. Storing detailed asset information and financial history provides valuable data to enable more informed decision making.
Typical information captured on a fixed asset register includes a unique identifier code, asset name, description, purchase and capitalisation dates, purchase cost, department, cost centre, residual value and asset life and depreciation rule.

IT equipment such as computers, laptops, printers and servers
Furniture and fittings
