What is Asset Reconciliation?
Asset Reconciliation is a procedure employed by the IT teams to ensure the allocated Fixed Assets are still being used by taking an acknowledgement from the End Users and their manager for using the Asset. This keeps the Asset Inventory data updated. The frequency of Asset Reconciliation process is decided by the Asset Managers.

Advantages
- The Asset Reconciliation helps in identifying the Assets that are although allocated to End Users, but not any more required by them.
- This helps in freeing the not required Assets, which can be reallocated to other users.
- The Asset Management data is up-to-date.
