Property Inventory
Policy: To maintain and regularly update a complete inventory of the property’s fixed assets.
Effective date: November 1, 2005
Procedure: The inventory is to include fixed asset items belonging to the Company. Fixed assets are those valuable material objects that are stable fixtures of the Community i.e. computers, office and pool furniture, maintenance shop equipment etc.
Not to be included are consumable supplies, i.e. those used up during the normal course of daily business (office or cleaning supplies), or inexpensive office tools (staplers, scissors etc.).
To assist you in determining what should be on inventory, further examples follow. If there are items you are still not sure about ask advice of your Regional Manager.

The current format for this inventory is split into categories; it lists some standard assets and then allows room for additional items (example follows). If it is necessary for a Community to add other categories, it is recommended that the same format be used.
It is in our best interest to include as much information on each item as possible, i.e. serial & model numbers, date purchased, original price, condition etc. When reviews are done, condition should be updated.

INVENTORY (FIXED ASSETS)
When to Complete the Inventory
Policy: To outline the various times fixed asset inventory should be taken
Effective date: November 1, 2005
Procedure: There are four occasions when inventory completion is required:
· Initial Takeover of a Community.
· Change of Property Manager.
· Annual Review.
· Suspected or Confirmed Theft or Vandalism.
Within the first 30 days of taking over a Community, a complete fixed assets inventory is to be made.
Ideally, an inventory review should occur with both outgoing Property Manager and incoming Property Manager. Any discrepancies should be forwarded to the Regional Manager so that they can be resolved immediately. If a "handover" review cannot be achieved, the Property Manager assuming responsibility should complete an inventory check within 14 days of arrival. Any discrepancies should be forwarded to the Regional Manager in writing.
The Property Manager is to make a full review of the Community Inventory within 12 months of the last review. They are to make any necessary comments and then sign and date that they carried out the "Annual Review".
Whenever there is a suspected or confirmed incident of theft or vandalism relating to fixed assets, the Property Manager is to complete a review of the relevant parts of the inventory, make the necessary comments and sign and date that an extra review was carried out. Information contained in the inventory can be helpful in subsequent investigations and insurance cases.

Adding/Deleting Property from the Inventory
Policy: Consistently update the inventory log for any additions or deletions.
Effective date: November 1, 2005
Procedure: As items are purchased/acquired or removed from the Community, the Property Manager is to update the inventory.
ADDING ITEMS
At the time of purchase or acquisition, an entry is to be made at the appropriate part of the inventory, giving all relevant information.
DELETING ITEMS
During normal operation, items on this inventory may be discarded because:
§ they are replaced with new
§ they are beyond reasonable repair
§ they become redundant
§ of theft or vandalism.
At the time the item is discarded, make the appropriate change in the inventory. Where there are multiple numbers of the discarded item, reduce the number held and note how many were discarded, why and the date it occurred. When the item is discarded in entirety, draw a line through the item and again note the reason it was discarded and the date.
All items deleted from the inventory are to be initialed by the Property Manager and the Regional Manager upon their next visit.
When an inventory schedule has been completed or updated a copy should be sent to your financial analyst at corporate.
