Try adding
#+LATEX: \newpage
before the heading where you want the page break to occur:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Period 2012-02-06 to 2012-02-12
** Asset
#+LATEX: \newpage
*** DEPARTMENT
| Data | Data | Data | Data |
|-------------+------+------+------|
| XXXXXX | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| YYYYYY | 5 | 4 | 0 |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You should probably do that as a last resort in the last editing
round, just to fix problematic spots.

IIRC, these influence LaTeX's internal measures of whether this is a
good or bad place to do it, but there are several factors in competition
and they probably lose in comparison to the other factors.
\newpage otoh is Thor's hammer: no questions asked.
