Achekam

A fixed asset register that follows each asset through its life

Assets are capitalised into classes, depreciated in period runs, transferred, maintained, verified, revalued or impaired, and disposed of — each step recorded and posted, with South African wear-and-tear allowances kept beside the accounting.

Who uses it

  • Finance manager
  • Asset custodian
  • Accountant
  • Auditor

What it does

  • Asset classes and the asset master: serial numbers, custodians, locations, warranties and QR labels.
  • Depreciation runs per period, with the journals exported to the ledger.
  • Transfers, maintenance, verification counts, revaluations, impairments and disposals.
  • Tax treatment and South African wear-and-tear allowances alongside the accounting values.
  • Capitalisation from purchases, and register reports.

How it works

  1. Set up classes and their rules.
  2. Capitalise assets from purchases or by hand.
  3. Run depreciation each period; verify assets by location.
  4. Record transfers, maintenance and disposals as they happen.

The controls that protect it

  • Every movement is recorded against the asset with who made it.
  • Period runs post journals you can trace back to the register.
