  5. Is the fixed asset officer notified of capital equipment that is scrapped, stolen, sold, traded in, loaned out, transferred or turned in as surplus?

  6. What constitutes a fixed asset, and consequently what costs should be considered to be directly attributable to assets and accordingly capitalized?

  7. Does your organization have the policy of evaluating the availability of idle fixed assets at other project sites before hiring of equipment?

  8. Are fixed asset counts supervised and conducted by employees who are independent of the fixed assets custodial and record keeping functions?

  9. Does integration with fixed asset details enable the capture of activity for roll forward schedule and cash flow statement automation?
