IT asset management and inventory control workshop

According to the Framework for Asset Management issued by National Treasury, your organisation is required to implement best practice asset management and financial control that is fair and transparent, but are you aware of the stringent accountability and standardisation requirements of this framework that ensure uniformity and consistency in your asset management process?

It is your responsibility as a manager/employee to implement and manage your organisation's/department's asset management and financial control process, and
inability to do this will expose your organisation's waste and loss of funds.
