Protect Your Assets with Fixed Asset Management

Are you properly tracking your inventory? How are you monitoring your fixed assets? Are you sure your assets are protected?

The process includes inventory management, asset tracking, and implementing a fixed asset management system.

Inventory Management

• Labeling assets with barcode tags
• Ensuring inventory results are tracked in a database

Tracking and Management System Setup

• Conducting a physical inventory (count) to determine current quantities
• Valuing physical inventory results according to VUK (Tax Procedure Code) valuation provisions
• Comparing the results with the general trial balance

Fixed Asset Management Process Audit

• Reviewing control criteria
• Conducting risk assessments
• Performing analytical review procedures
• Examining fixed asset purchases, disposals, year-end balances, depreciation expenses, accumulated depreciation accounts, and year-end balances for the current year

Why is Proper Inventory Management Important?

Failure to conduct inventory has various consequences under the Tax Procedure Code (VUK), the most severe of which is the automatic determination of the tax base for the period according to Article 30/3 of the Code.

If you don’t want to face a tax assessment under the Tax Procedure Code (VUK) due to incorrect inventory management or penalties under the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) Article 66 for failing to perform an inventory properly, we can help.

We can assist you in maintaining your corporate reputation by preparing accurate financial statements according to VUK and international standards.

How Will Auditing the Fixed Asset Process Help You?

We provide you with the necessary analyses to identify risks and control deficiencies before they harm your business, and we help improve the process to benefit your company.

Benefits of a Tracking and Management System

• Maximize return on investment (ROI) by knowing the cost of your fixed assets and the investments made.
• Improve reliability.
• Increase overall efficiency by tracking fixed assets with maximum productivity and knowing the location and holder of each asset.
• Through the management of warranties, repairs, services, and maintenance, the risk of asset loss is reduced, and continuity of asset usage is ensured.
• Prevent issues with licensing, serial numbers, multiple invoicing, and service errors while enabling supplier and service firm evaluation and comparison. This data is crucial for future purchases and service agreements.
• Maintaining accurate and comprehensive asset information in a centralized database facilitates informed decision-making and efficient data sharing.
• Enable the calculation of the Total Cost of Ownership (TOC) for assets by tracking their life cycle.
• Prevent the acquisition of unnecessary or excessive assets and reduce long-term costs for fixed assets and IT equipment with more accurate cost estimates.

The global pandemic may force companies to make strategic decisions. Understanding the true value of company assets is crucial for management’s decisions.

The actual market value of your machinery and equipment will be determined through valuation, contributing to accurately expressing your company’s value and strengthening your equity.

Machinery and equipment valuation is conducted through our experts, following specific criteria and techniques.

It is crucial to achieve the best outcome after a risk occurs. However, correcting the issue after the risk materializes can bring financial burdens and take time. Therefore, legal risk management should focus on eliminating or managing threatening risks before they escalate.

In our view, the most important thing is to take preventive measures based on potential risks in advance.

Through preventive legal measures, we will identify the risks arising from regulations before they affect your company, ensuring that necessary legal precautions are taken to minimize the damage if the regulations are enforced.

We will monitor the regulations specific to your industry and company and provide reports with recommendations.

With Legal Risk Management:

• Risks can be avoided
• Risks can be accepted
• Risks can be shared or reduced

Corporate structuring refers to planning, measurable, reportable, improvable, and methodological activities of a business or organization without relying on individuals. It ensures continuity, stability, and dynamism.

Addressing strategic and organizational processes is one of the managerial complementing elements of entrepreneurship.

Corporate structuring refers to the integration of principles, rules, and standards with family culture and the entrepreneur’s power.

Corporate Structuring in SMEs

In our country, more than 95% of companies are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and a significant portion of SMEs are family-owned businesses that need to improve their corporate maturity.

The average lifespan of family-owned businesses is 25-30 years.

Only 30% of family businesses transition to the second generation, 12% to the third, and 3% to the fourth.

Why is the lifespan of these businesses so short?

There are many answers to this question, but we can summarize all these answers as a lack of corporate structuring.

Some subtopics of why SMEs struggle with corporate structuring are:

• Inability to manage processes from an architectural perspective, insufficient internal controls, difficulties in inventory management, inability to accurately calculate costs, branding, risk management (financial risks such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, clarity of strategic objectives, compliance risk, tax risk, operational risks – information technology and reputation risks), need for improving employee commitment and skills, lack of capital, inaccessibility of credit sources, accounting and tax risks, inability to manage cash flow, failure to derive correct conclusions from financial statement analysis, inadequacy of decision support systems, failure to manage growth, etc.

Common Comments from SME Owners and Managers:

• How do we prevent out-of-control operations? How can we manage our business with principles, rules, and standards without losing our values, agility, and flexibility? Should we switch to ERP?
• What will happen to this company after I am gone?
• How can we increase the value of the company?
• How can we manage rapid growth?
• Which tasks should we outsource? Which tasks should we handle with a partner? Which areas should we exit, and which new areas should we enter?
• How can we improve strategic planning and budgeting?
• How can we control employee turnover? Can we establish a compelling performance and career management system for our employees?
• How can we improve processes such as sales collections, procurement payments, stock/production, resources/reimbursement, fixed assets, human resources, SGK (Social Security), legal, and cash management?
• How can we establish a reporting infrastructure to assist management in decision-making?
