Asset proof is the evidence supporting existence, ownership, condition or value. One type of evidence rarely establishes every one of those facts.[1][2]
Understanding the question
Distinguish an ownership record from a valuation, audit, custody confirmation or photograph. Identify who produced the evidence and the date or period it covers. Plan how evidence is refreshed and how exceptions are reported. A token supply dashboard alone does not establish the legal status of the underlying asset.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Existence | What evidence shows the asset is present? |
| Ownership | What record identifies the owner and relevant restrictions? |
| Value | What method and date support a valuation? |
Put it into practice
A current valuation may rely on outdated ownership assumptions. Keep the valuation file linked to the current title and encumbrance evidence.
