Asset inventory

The Asset Inventory spreadsheet and the Risk Assessment spreadsheet do not need to be exactly the same as long as you can relate the information between them, like the way you exemplified.

Typically, Asset inventory (especially for mid-sized and larger companies) will be more detailed than the list of assets in the risk assessment. In case you have assets with similar risks you can add a category to group them to make the risk assessment easier. For example, instead of identifying each laptop individually, you can define a group called "company-owned laptops" and assign it to the laptop models included I your asset inventory.

For smaller companies it makes no sense to have Asset Inventory since all the assets are already recorded in the Risk assessment.
