51 UA TITLED AND SPONSOR TITLED ASSETS Both University and Sponsor titled assets are included in the biennial inventory A A physical inventory of equipment shall be taken and the results reconciled with the equipment records at least once every two years. Uniform Guidance A physical inventory of the property must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years. FAR The Contractor shall periodically perform, record, and disclose physical inventory results.

52 EQUIPMENT PURCHASED ON SPONSORED ACCOUNTS The University Property System is regularly audited to ensure compliance, control, and management of state, University, and Federally funded equipment Biennial audit by Office of Naval Research (ONR) Annual by the Office of the Arizona Auditor General - Financial Statement Audit Annual audit of federal grant and contract transactions by the Office of the Arizona Auditor General Sponsor Audit

53 FEDERALLY TITLED ASSETS AND THE ONR AUDIT The ONR audit is performed to determine whether or not the University Property System is compliant as required by FAR (f)(3) If the UA Property System is deemed unsatisfactory, the University will NOT maintain eligibility to receive government funding for the acquisition of equipment In other words, the University will lose a significant amount of Federal funding if the system is found to be unsatisfactory

54 PHYSICAL INSPECTION The ONR audit involves physical inspection and verification of the accuracy and completeness of University property records Auditors will check for the following: Physical existence of equipment Equipment is in use and functional The off-campus form is complete for off campus equipment University records match the property tag number, serial number, model number, location and manufacturer to the asset and its location Federal property has a Property of the Federal Government label and UA Property does not

55 UA TITLED ASSETS PURCHASED ON SPONSORED ACCOUNTS Even when title vests with the University, we still have an obligation to adhere to award property provisions, i.e. A-110, FDP, PHS Grant Policy Statement, FAR Property is properly identified Hierarchy for use is adhered to Disposition is requested when needed Sales/Surplus is appropriate Assets meet transfer eligibility

56 INVENTORY OF FEDERALLY FUNDED ASSETS While you are performing your inventory, think about the ONR audit If a UA Funded/Titled asset has a Property of Federal Government label, remove it If a Federally titled item is no longer in use or broken, contact SPS Property so disposition instructions can be requested If an asset has been delivered to the sponsor, send the shipping documents to the SPS Property Manager so it can be removed from inventory If we can resolve potential issues now, the audit will go smoothly

57 FINAL THOUGHTS Information and Materials discussed at this meeting can be found on FSO Capital Finance Website and on Titan: Please feel free to contact any of the Property Management team members or Sponsored Property members. We are here to HELP you!!!
