Asset Management & Protection
Course Info
Course Summary
For any organisation that deals with finances or valuable assets, it is crucial to establish strong management to maximise investments and secure profits. When dealing with anything of value, the organisation must also have a strong focus on protecting its assets and implementing strong security plans.
Asset management and risk management are intertwined; one cannot be successful without the other. Identifying financial and physical risks is essential for managing assets, as it allows 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 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.
