# CPCON UK

> CPCON is an international fixed asset management and inventory specialist with 30+ years of experience and more than 4,500 projects delivered across six countries (United Kingdom, United States, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and the United Arab Emirates). cpcongroup.uk is CPCON's United Kingdom site, covering fixed asset verification, asset tagging, RFID asset tracking, stocktaking services and asset valuation, written in British English for UK organisations.

CPCON is independent: not an audit firm and not a software vendor. Deliverables are designed around UK requirements — FRS 102 Section 17 (property, plant and equipment), the FRS 102 Periodic Review amendments effective 1 January 2026, Companies Act 2006 s.386 (adequate accounting records, including "statements of stocktakings"), ISA (UK) 501 (auditor attendance at physical inventory counting), RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book) methodology, and capital allowances under CAA 2001 (full expensing, AIA, the new 40% first-year allowance from January 2026 and writing down allowances).
