A physical component of a facility which has value,enables services to be provided and has an economic life of greater than 12 months. Dynamic assets have some moving parts, while passive assets have none. IIMM
An asset is an object (physical or intangible) that has an identifiable value and a useful life greater than 12 months, that is or could be used by the entity responsible for it to provide a service. LGAM
Asset - An item with an independent physical and functional identity and age, within a facility (e.g. pump, motor, sedimentation tank, main). Asset - Service potential or future economic benefits controlled by entity as a result of past transactions or other past events. DERM
A plan developed for the management of one or more infrastructure assets that combines multi-disciplinary management techniques (including technical and financial) over the lifecycle of the asset in the most costeffective manner to provide a specified level of service. A significant component of the plan is a long-term cashflow projection for the activities. IIMM
An Asset Management Plan (AMP) is a plan developed for the management of one or more infrastructure asset classes with a view to operating, maintaining and renewing the assets within the class in the most cost effective manner possible, whilst providing a specific level of service." LGAM
The focus of the audit is to check the Asset Management Plan has:
- well-defined justifiable levels of service
- minimum assumptions relating to asset information
- a robust AM improvement programme with task priorities and resource requirements identified
- an enhanced description of AM techniques used to establish the most cost-effective (optimum) asset lifecycle treatment options (i.e. risk management, > predictive modelling and optimised decision- making)
- quality presentation, including a stand-alone executive summary and extensive use of figures and tables
- a focused plan with extensive use made of appendices.
IIMM
Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the specific requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards. LGAM
Cost (current) - An asset’s cost measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross service potential of the asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of events. (Synonymous with ‘gross current cost’.) Cost (replacement) - The cost of restoring an existing asset’s gross service potential on deprival, whether by reproduction of the existing asset or replacement with a reference asset. Cost (reproduction) - The cost of restoring an existing asset’s gross service potential on deprival by reproducing the existing asset. Cost (written down current) - An asset’s current cost less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired service potential of the asset DERM
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost. IIMM
The optimised replacement cost after deducting an allowance for wear or consumption to reflect the remaining or economic service life of the asset.
An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
A risk is the probability of a failure of an asset as a result of the occurrence of a hazard. There may be a resulting cost associated with the risk.
A system supplying a public need such as transport, communications, or utilities such as electricity and water.
An organisation responsible for providing a service.
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost.
IIMM
Assessed asset value which may depend on the purpose for which the valuation is required, i.e. replacement value for determining maintenance levels, market value for lifecycle costing and optimised deprival value for tariff setting.
IIMM
A valuation is the determination of the economic value of an asset.
