Investopedia explains 'Asset Ledger'

The subaccounts to the asset ledger can be extensive. Fixed assets, for example, can be divided into facilities, equipment, assets that may be expensed, etc. The asset ledger is one of many subsidiary accounts that feed into a company's general ledger. The general ledger is used to construct financial statements and is generally considered to be a company's "official accounting record".
