Capital Asset Controls

Management has not implemented a process of assigning unique numbers and tagging capital assets for effective tracking and cross referencing to local asset registers. As a result of not assigning unique asset numbers, tagging assets, and tracking assets by location, it is difficult to accurately account for capital assets without performing a full physical count.

actifs immobilisés
Explanation:
Je crois que "actifs immobilisés" est préférable parce que l'auteur parle des actifs individuels, "assigning unique numbers and tagging capital assets for effective tracking" et non de l'ensemble des actifs immobilisés ( immobilisations ). Il vise donc les actifs immobilisés individuels et nopn leur ensemble.
