I. AUTHORITY
Section 4-36 of the Connecticut General Statutes states: "Each state agency
shall establish and keep an inventory account in the form prescribed by the
Comptroller, and shall, annually, on or before October first, transmit to the
Comptroller a detailed inventory, as of June thirtieth, of all of the following
property owned by the state and in the custody of such agency: (1) real
property, and (2) personal property having a value of one thousand dollars or
more. For audit purposes, each state agency shall establish and keep a list of
personal property having a value of less than one thousand dollars and defined
as 'controllable property' in the property control manual published by the
Comptroller."
The Office of the State Comptroller Memorandum 2015-05 revised the capitalization threshold for personal property as follows:
Personal property acquired prior to July 1, 2015 will have a capitalization threshold of one thousand dollars and effective July 1, 2015 the capitalization threshold for personal property is five thousand dollars.
II. DUE DATE
As prescribed by the statute, agencies must transmit this report to the
State Comptroller on or before October 1, 2016.

Executive Branch agencies are expected to use the Asset Management and Inventory queries below to complete the CO-59 form for fiscal year 2016. If the values recorded on the CO-59 do not reconcile with Core-CT, the agency must provide a written explanation of the discrepancy in an attachment.

Record all property additions for the fiscal year in the "Additions" column 4 at the property's original cost if purchased or fair market value if donated or transferred. Additions should include transfers from the State and Federal Property Distribution Center.
Record all property deletions for the fiscal year in the "Deletions" column 5 at the original cost or value of the property when it was placed on the property listing. Deletions should include property scrapped, lost, and transferred to the State and Federal Property Distribution Center.
Any real property sold, transferred or demolished should be reflected in the "Deletions" column. The deletion amount should reflect the original acquisition cost if purchased or the fair market value if acquired by donation.
The "Current Balance" column 6 is the cost or value column for all property held by the agency at fiscal year end. Last year's balance plus any additions, less any deletions must equal this column.
Current Value Section

IV. GENERAL INFORMATION
All agencies are required to conduct an annual physical inventory of their
assets and stores and supplies inventory. All Executive branch agencies must
reconcile and process their physical inventories in Core-CT by noon on July 8,
2016 so that the information will be included in fiscal year 2016 Financial
Reports and Statements. In preparation for this annual inventory of assets,
agencies using the Core-CT Asset Module should create all new scan scopes,
extracts and occurrences.
To assist agencies with processing a physical inventory in Core-CT, there are Physical Inventory Job Aids. These job aids are located on the Core-CT website on the Asset Management Job Aids page under the Core-CT Financials Asset Management User Support page (http://www.core-ct.state.ct.us/financials/asset/Default.htm) and the Inventory Job Aids page under the Core-CT Financials Inventory User Support page (http://www.core-ct.state.ct.us/financials/inventory/Default.htm).
