property control

Welcome to Property Control

Property Control tags with bar codes, tracks and manages the university's movable capital assets acquired with a value of over $5,000 per item.  Physical inventories are performed with bar code scanners by Property Control students, building by building, over an 18 month process. Not Found reports are forwarded to department personnel for help in locating capital assets that were not initially located.

An approved Property Control System is critical to the university’s research future.  Our cognizant auditing agency, the Office of Naval Research, approves or denies our property system each year.  Without the annual approvals ASU Property Control has achieved since 1989. ASU would not be permitted to purchase capital assets on our contracts and grants, significantly impacting the university’s research opportunities and future.
