SYNOPSIS

Asset management is a critical aspect of governmental financial management and deserves prioritization by agencies. The government places significant emphasis on asset management due to the substantial investments made in infrastructure development and asset provision. Systematic, comprehensive, and integrated asset management is imperative to align with the continuous improvement policy of the public sector service delivery system. Government assets represent the nation's investments and must be managed meticulously. Inefficiencies in asset management can burden the finances, tarnish the government's reputation, impact service quality and efficiency, safety, and user satisfaction.

Government assets that require management encompass: 1. Immovable Government Assets, 2. Movable Government Assets, 3. Stock and Inventory Assets, 4. Intangible Assets and 5. Living Assets

Efficiently managed government assets can aid the government in optimal and effective expense management, in line with the Government Asset Management Policy (DPAK), Comprehensive Asset Management Manual (MPAM), Government Immoveable Asset Management Procedures (TPATA), and Ministry of Finance Malaysia Treasury Circulars (PP). This necessitates competent government officials and a comprehensive strategy to manage government assets in accordance with internationally recognized best practices.

The management of immoveable assets should be a top priority for agencies. This is crucial to provide suitable and adequate workplaces, ensuring the effective delivery of services according to their respective functions. The objective of immoveable government asset management is to provide complete asset information for development planning and usage control of immoveable assets (space, energy, resources, costs, etc.), ensuring efficient operation and maintenance to enhance asset longevity and yield a high return on government investment.
