Using a disciplined process that begins with a wall to wall inventory of the assets, a floor to book reconciliation is prepared. Where a fixed asset inventory program does not exist, National Equipment Appraisal recommends appropriate software that includes bar coding and asset tagging. In cases where assets have been previously tagged, National Equipment Appraisal provides updates by using software that seamlessly integrates with the company's existing fixed asset software.
Frequently clients request a "replacement cost appraisal" to validate the insured values of machinery and equipment but most often asset reconciliations are conducted to reduce personal property taxes. In markets where asset values are declining, companies use National Equipment Appraisal's certified reports to support a personal property tax appeals process.
