Asset Fair Value to AASB 13: bridging a gap between finance and asset managers
Melbourne | 27 August | 12pm – 1.15pm
Asset managers and finance teams have differing commitments in the management of assets for their organisation. Asset valuations require an understanding of both perspectives to form a unique perspective that is of interest to investors, owners, tax authorities and others.
Valuations for financial reporting are required to meet AASB 13 and they in turn are derived from Valuation Standards. Valuation professionals are obliged to comply first with their industry standards and then with accounting standards. While valuations are generally understood by most the detail is complex and often leads to misunderstanding and confusion.
The presentation seeks to inform and align asset managers understanding of the language and rational of valuations.
Tauranga City’s Wedge Model: Getting Asset Information Right the First Time and Building In-house Capability
Online | 1 September | 1pm AEST
This presentation will focus on how Tauranga City Council’s City Water team used the Wedge Model to get asset data right first time and build in-house capability. It sets clear asset information requirements, embeds ISO 19650-aligned ways of working in live projects, and transfers knowledge through shadow consulting so the council team can lead without ongoing external support.
The work improved handover readiness and reduced information chasing and rework. The delivery milestone was a digital twin water network pilot (March 2025) bringing together GIS, hydraulic modelling and SCADA to support day-to-day operational decisions.
AMCouncil Maintenance & Reliability Symposium 2026
Sydney | 27 August | 8.30am – 5pm
This year’s theme, Maintenance for Resilience, will explore how effective maintenance and reliability practices can strengthen organisational resilience, improve asset performance and support continuity in an increasingly complex operating environment.
At the centre of the symposium is the question:
How do maintenance and reliability practitioners keep critical assets safe, reliable and productive when assets are ageing, systems are increasingly connected, data is imperfect and disruption is becoming normal?
The symposium will bring together maintenance and reliability practitioners, asset managers, infrastructure operators, digital specialists, operational technology professionals and resilience leaders to explore the changing role of maintenance in asset-intensive organisations.
“Assisting Members to enable value from effective asset management. ”
