Asset Governance in Education

Schools, colleges, universities, and training providers manage diverse asset portfolios — from IT and laboratory equipment to specialist teaching resources, vehicles, and building contents. Asset governance supports inspection readiness, accurate financial returns, insurance adequacy, and effective capital planning. In the public sector especially, demonstrating responsible stewardship of publicly funded assets is an accountability requirement.
