Equipment/inventory management of items purchased with federal funds:

• LEAs must maintain documentation to substantiate that all equipment purchases are reasonable, necessary, and allowable in accordance with federal, state and program requirements.  (2 CFR Section 200.313 and 200.403-409; California Education Code (Ed Code) Section 35168; and CARES Act)
• The LEA must conduct a physical inventory of the property and the results must be reconciled with the property records at least once every two years.  (2 CFR Section 200.313[d][2]; CSAM Procedure 410) 
• During an FPM review: once the complete General Ledger has been provided, the reviewer will select a sample of invoices for review. Invoices should be itemized to identify exactly what was purchased and how the expenditure benefited the program.
