Each Head of Function (including the Estates Manager) is responsible for identifying & highlighting surplus / damaged assets – property, plant & equipment for disposal. Obsolete assets should be written off and physically disposed off on an annual basis.
The principle underlying this process is that it is the Heads of Functions, who initiated or approved the purchases of the fixed assets for their departmental use; consequently they have the primary fiduciary responsibility to manage, control and safeguard such Institute assets.
