Asset Management & Protection

Course Summary

 

For any organisation that deals with finances or valuable assets, it is crucial to establish strong management surrounding these to maximise investments and secure profits for the organisation. When dealing with anything of value, the organisation must also have a strong focus on protecting their assets and implementing strong security plans.


 

 

Asset management and risk management are intertwined where one cannot be successful without the other. Identifying financial and physical risks is essential for managing assets as it will allow the professionals involved to make smarter and more secure business investments.


 

 

Asset protection and security can come in many different forms. One side of security is focused on protecting assets from the bounds of debt and creditors, and ensuring assets remain uninvolved in any financial trouble. Another area of security is protecting it from external threats and attacks, such as fraudulent activity and cyberterrorism. Those responsible for asset protection should carefully analyse potential risks to implement various systems and methods to guarantee maximum security for all assets.
