When preparing for your university’s inventory audit, where do you begin? What should you focus on?
Auditors will typically select a sample population of assets to be reviewed. It’s vital to ensure that the following data elements and attributes have been reviewed and are corrected if necessary prior to an auditor’s onsite arrival:
- Building location
- Responsible department
- Room number
- Tag number
- Asset description
- Year acquired
- Acquisition cost
- Estimated useful life
- Depreciation amount
- Manufacturer
- Funding source
