Follow-Up Evaluation of the Architect of the Capitol’s Inventory Accountability and Controls

We recommend that the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) update and revise AOC Order 34-45 (Personal Property Manual) to (1) establish a dollar threshold for accountable property, (2) the greatest extent possible, ensure mission critical non-consumable property is consistently defined across AOC jurisdictions, (3) provide guidance on how to identify, document and track mission critical non-consumable and non-accountable property, (4) provide clear directions on administrative controls and (5) develop and enforce additional inventory and accountability procedures for accountable and non-accountable property to reduce the risk of mismanagement and lost property in accordance with federal best practices.
