Institute of Asset Management - Assessment of Organisations

Assessment of Organisations

Many companies and organisations wish to demonstrate evidence of good stewardship of their assets to shareholders or stakeholders. In the same way that organisations show evidence of compliance for quality purposes to relevant standards such as ISO 9001, evidence of achievement in asset management may be demonstrated by compliance with BSI PAS 55:2008. The IAM has collaborated with industrial co-sponsors to develop an Assessment Methodology, which organisations may also use for self-assessment. This is available as a software ‘tool’ at cost. The IAM does not offer an assessment or certification service directly but encourages good practice in this activity by endorsing known good assessors, most of whom become Corporate Members and observe the IAM’s Code of Conduct.

Famous quotes containing the words assessment of and/or assessment:

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
