Frequently Asked Questions – Deputy Director Asset Management National Treasury

What is the Departmental Asset Register and why is reconciliation with the general ledger critical? The Departmental Asset Register (DAR) is the official record of all movable assets owned by National Treasury — recording each asset’s description, acquisition date, cost, location, responsible official, and depreciated book value. Under the PFMA (Public Finance Management Act) and GRAP (Generally Recognised Accounting Practice) standards, the DAR must be accurately maintained and reconciled with the department’s General Ledger at all times. Discrepancies between the DAR and the General Ledger — assets that appear in one record but not the other — indicate either accounting errors, asset losses, or disposal failures that expose the department to audit findings and PFMA non-compliance.

What is the Public Service Policy Framework on Asset Management? The Government Immovable Asset Management Act (GIAMA) and Treasury Regulations together form the policy framework governing how government departments manage their assets — including acquisition, maintenance, verification, and disposal. Key requirements include annual asset verification exercises, documented disposal processes, quarterly reconciliation between the DAR and General Ledger, reporting to the Accounting Officer, and maintaining audit-ready asset documentation. The Deputy Director must implement and monitor compliance with all these framework requirements at National Treasury.

What is the asset disposal process for redundant government assets? When a government asset is assessed as redundant (no longer needed for operational purposes) or obsolete (beyond serviceable life), the disposal process involves: (1) formal assessment and documentation of the redundancy/obsolescence determination; (2) preparation of a disposal memorandum for approval by the relevant delegated authority; (3) selection of the appropriate disposal method (transfer to another department, donation to a school or community organisation, public auction, write-off, or destruction); (4) execution of the approved disposal; and (5) removal of the asset from the DAR with full audit documentation. The Deputy Director manages this entire process.
