Off-Site Physical Inventories

When University- and/or sponsor-owned property is located off-site, department inventory contacts should forward the inventory listing to all facilities in custody of said property.

The facility with University and/or sponsor-owned property should:

  1. Review the inventory listing
  2. locate all University and/or sponsor owned property
  3. Mark the property as either Found, Not Found, or Deleted on the report

    and

  4. Return the completed report to the inventory coordinator

Inventory contact should review, report and, when necessary, resolve inventory discrepancies

NOTE: When verification of University and/or sponsor-owned property is in response to an internal UW audit or external audit (e.g., Federal or other agency), it may be necessary for those physically confirming the inventory to include digital images of the property.
