Headquarters Managers and Field Installation Heads: February 2011 Semi-Annual Capital Property Review

The next Semi-Annual Capital Property Review is scheduled to begin on February 1, 2011; the completion deadline is February 15, 2011. The list of items to be veri­fied by the selected finance numbers will be sent out by e-mail from “Materials, Customer Service — Topeka, KS” the week of February 1, 2011.

The Semi-Annual Capital Property Reviews are a Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirement. A list of finance numbers that receive a Semi-Annual Capital Property Certification Report but do not sub­mit the report on time will be provided to senior management.

The Asset Accountability Service Centers (AASCs) will provide instructions and guidelines on how the Semi-Annual Capital Property Reviews are to be conducted by the field and Headquarters groups. Handbook AS-701, Material Management, is under revision; instructions and guidelines provided by the AASCs will supersede Hand­book AS-701 where there are conflicts.
