Ghost Assets

Assets that are recorded in the books but are physically missing.

Ghost assets are a silent killer for company finances. They create tax liabilities (you are paying taxes on things you don't have) and insurance bloat. Regular audits and a robust asset tracking system are the best defense against ghost assets.
