Statement

Each year, Inventory Control contacts each administrative unit to designate a Capital Asset Coordinator to obtain verified capital asset inventory reports from the departments with capital assets within the unit.

The administrative unit will submit the Capital Asset Coordinator Form to notify Inventory Control with the name and contact information of the Capital Asset Coordinator selected for the unit.

Capital Asset Coordinators will obtain verified capital asset inventory reports from the Department Inventory Coordinators of every department with capital assets within their administrative unit and forward them to Inventory Control no earlier than July 1 and no later than December 15 of each calendar year.

A department will be considered "noncompliant" if its verified inventory report is not submitted by December 15. In January, a final report for the capital asset inventory effort for the previous year, including a listing of noncompliant departments, will be sent to the Associate Vice President of Business Services. The respective Vice Presidents or Deans of the noncompliant departments will then be required to submit appropriate corrective action plans.

Reasoning

In accordance with State law KRS 164A.575, all equipment greater than $5,000 must be inventoried annually.
