UA Titled and Sponsor Titled Assets

• Both University and Sponsor titled assets are included in the biennial inventory– A-110 states that “a physical inventory of

equipment shall be taken and the results reconciled with the equipment records at least once every two years”

– FAR 52.245-1 states that “the Contractor shall periodically perform, record, and disclose physical inventory results”

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 A-133 audit of federal grant and contract

transactions by the Office of the Arizona Auditor General

– Sponsor Audit

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 52.245-1(f)(3)

• If the UA property system is deemed unsatisfactory, the University will NOT maintain eligibility to receive government funding for the purchase of equipment

• In other words, the University will lose a significant amount of Federal funding if the system is found to be unsatisfactory

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 A-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

Inventory of Federally Funded Assets• While you are performing your inventory, think

about the ONR audit – If a UA 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

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
