Certification Procedures

The semi-annual certification is done for capital assets only. The annual certification is done for both capital and non-capital assets. This is a physical inventory of each fixed asset. As per AD310 – 4.07 (Capital) and AD313 – 4.07 (Non-Capital), it is your responsibility to ensure accurate completion of this physical inventory prior to the set deadline. After the initial inventory period, you have an additional two weeks to clear exceptions.

Basic Certification Instructions: • The Asset Liaison (AL) will run and print the certification report on the kickoff

date of the certification process. The date of the report must be the kickoff date. No other run dates

will be accepted. A full report will be found on INTRANS, see INTRANS section in this

manual. If the AL can’t print the report on the date indicated, they can go to the full report and print their respective departments.

AD310 and AD313 paragraph 4.02 states: “Supervisors and managers are responsible for all capital assets assigned to the organization (department codes). Each capital asset will be properly identified in accordance with the MAPS.” This means that the supervisor of the department is responsible to insure that the certification is conducted in accordance with the AD and these instructions.

All entries and changes in the Asset Module in SHARE must be entered as the current date. DO NOT backdate.

The AL will list all exceptions on the Exception Report, Form No. A- 1078, and have the form signed and dated. This form must accompany your certification report(s) when submitted. One Exception Report must be completed for each department number.

See Exception Report section in this manual for further instructions. The AL must complete a Certificate of Property Loss (CPL) form A-166 if

the asset is lost, stolen, vandalized destroyed or damaged. The asset will still appear on the Exception Report as well. See CPL section in this manual for further instructions.

The AL must mail, or scan and email, the completed certification report for their department(s).

The report must be signed and dated and an exception report must be submitted in the packet.
