I am not going to claim to be an expert gardener but I do love my garden and strive to take care of it the best I can. As well as calling in experts when needed I also have various gadgets to make some of the jobs easier – none of them very expensive (I could probably afford to replace the spade) but it makes sense to keep them safe.
Businesses have assets in the form of their people, tools of their trades and potentially stock – all should be taken care off. In the case of physical assets this may involve tracking the financial value and securing with a lock and key. In my experience people are better kept safe through financial reward, training and a good working environment.
One element of the role of a Financial Director is safeguarding the assets of a business, and advising on the appropriate tools to do. And your staff don’t need to be in fear – we don’t suggest locking them up.
