Abstract


Ghost assets are a recent terminology which enters in the world of accounting. Many people cannot withstand a good ghost story. However, while a good ghost story is innocuous, ghost assets are not. Many businesses are already conscious of how a fixed asset tracking solution is dominant for the profitability and stability of their operations. Dealing with the vexatious spirits emerging around Halloween’s enough to make anyone restless, but in the scary world of fixed asset management, there are two terrifying issues – Ghost and Zombie Assets – that can haunt inventory and profitability of business house throughout the year. Ignorance of such ghosts in the business can be the killer for small businesses, on an average, one quarter of all financial, insurance and tax related benefits are related to ghost assets, the bottom line of business is greatly affected due to poor accounting practices. This paper laid emphasis on the basic premise of ghost assets; it impacts business profitability, and how to get rid of them.
