The record closure

Updating the register, the accounts and anything that referenced the asset.

The part

What it is

The step that is always skipped, which is why registers drift and why decommissioned assets appear in the next audit.

Anything referencing the asset — dependency maps, documentation, monitoring — needs updating too, and that is the part nobody owns.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
