In business and accounting an asset is anything owned, whether in possession or by right to take possession, by a person or a group actiong together, e.g. a company, the value of which can be expressed in monetary terms.

Assets may be classified in many ways. The principal distinction normally made for business purposes is between:

• fixed assets and
• current assets.
