[Department of Oeman Resources* Property Accounting and Control
Systtea Is Ineffective]. march 29, 1978. 6 pp.
Report to Albert P. Russo, Director, District of Columbia: Dept.
of Bnsan Resources; by Frank Hedico, Assistant Director, General
Government Div.
Contact: General Government Div.
Organization Concerned: District of Columbia.
The property accounting and control system of the
District of Columbia's Department of Human Resources (DuR) does
not provide accurate and complete data on the quantities,
location, use, and cost of accountable property. An effective
property accountability and contro2 system for DRi is essential
because of the large amount of District and Federal grant funds
invested in accountable property; the high cost to purchase,
store, maintain, distribute, and control such property: and the
potentially adverse effect on program results and resource
management. DHR's system was ineffective because: acquisitions
of acccuntable property were not always recorded on the
Equipsont Report Master List at the time of receipt; annual
physical inventories of property were often not done; and
physical inventory results, when reported, were used to validate
thq master list without any independent review to insure that
the dita were accurate and coaplete. DHR could not accurately
determine how much property was owned, where it was located, or
how effectively it was used; it could also not determine how
much property had been lost, stolen, or destroyed. The Director
of DHR should: monitor the implementation of new procedures
requiring all warehouse and program personnel to promptly report
all property receipts and relocations, insure that annual
physical inventory requirements are mot, and independently
verify or have an independent group verify the results of
physical inventories. (BRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxql0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
