I am no auditor, but I bow to the "I agree" vote. Fixed assets sounds good to me and I'll go on this - assets is very generic and referring to the fourth response, remember that assets can be qualified as tangible and intangible. I thank you very much for the answer, as I have just realised that, for the last 10 years I have been signing balance sheets and seen this word countless times on my company printouts without having really grasped what it meant!!!

assets


Explanation:
I'd be careful about using "fixed assets".
"Cespiti immobiliari" are definitely fixed assets, but "cespiti mobiliari" are NOT! If there is no further definition of the term, I would stick with "assets" to be safe.
