FIXED ASSETS Presented by : Aaron Helfenberger and Karen Worthy Reporting & Fixed Assets Our goal is to educate you on the processes, procedures, and everyday activities of the Reporting & Fixed Assets office. Agenda • What is a fixed asset and why is it important? • How is a fixed asset acquired? • How do you maintain and dispose of fixed assets? (FORMS) • Annual Inventory • Individual Responsibilities What is a Fixed Asset? A fixed asset is defined as University property such as land, buildings, and equipment, with a total cost equal to or greater than $5,000, and a useful life of two or more years. EXCEPTION: Software must be over $100,000 Examples of Fixed Assets Buildings Campus Vehicles Infrastructure Equipment Art Collections Expanded Definition Total Costs = purchase price + other costs incurred to place the asset in its location and condition for use Shipping/delivery costs Installation/set up fees Interest costs, legal fees, etc. incurred during the construction of an asset (i.e. buildings) DOES NOT APPLY: Service contracts Extended warranties Maintenance Costs Maintenance costs are expenses incurred to keep assets in normal operating condition and to help maintain the original use of the asset. Maintenance costs do not extend the life of an asset beyond the expected useful life. Examples: repairs, replacement parts, painting, service agreements, etc. MAINTENANCE COSTS = FIXED ASSET Capitalization & Depreciation A fixed asset becomes ‘capitalized’ when it is recorded on the financial statements as an asset. A fixed asset is ‘depreciated’ by allocating the cost of the asset over its useful life. Straight line method (total cost-salvage value/useful life) NOT depreciated: land, certain land improvements, construction-in-progress, works of art/historical treasures UNC Charlotte Total Assets ($1,444,209,946) UNC Charlotte TOTAL ASSETS = $1,444,209,946 as of 6/30/13 Endowment Investments $66,538,488 4% Other Investments & Assets $14,374,343 1% Cash, $328,969,656 23% Fixed Assets $1,018,489,762 71% Receivables $15,837,697 1% Fixed Assets Expenditures UNC CHARLOTTE TOTAL FIXED ASSETS $1,200,000,000 $1,000,000,000 $1,018,489,762 $893,141,364 $800,000,000 $810,994,573 $690,030,002 $600,000,000 $606,261,328 DOLLAR AMOUNT $550,369,185 $400,000,000 $499,044,421 $460,723,941 $200,000,000 $0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 UNC Charlotte Fixed Assets by Type UNC CHARLOTTE FIXED ASSETS BY TYPE $1,018,489,762 as of 6/30/13 General Infrastructure $151,652,648 Construction in Progress $118,000,334 Buildings $655,172,579 Machinery & Equipment $49,027,705 Art & Collections $30,029,293 Land $7,331,270 Computer Software $7,275,933 Facts and Figures Approximately 4,995 capitalized fixed assets As of June 30, 2013, total fixed assets were $1,018,489,762 or approximately 71% of UNC Charlotte’s total assets University fixed asset expenditures have increased by 85% in the last 5 years The Fixed Assets office Implement and follow policies set by the Office of the State Controller Follow FIT Standards issued by UNC System Ensures fixed assets are: properly acquired accounted for maintained disposed of Policy Statement #601.15 CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF UNIVERSITY EQUIPMENT & OTHER PROPERTY Available at http://legal.uncc.edu/policies/up-601.15 (formerly policy # 79) Highlights: Fixed assets definitions Responsibilities for each level of staff involved with fixed assets Obligated to comply with fixed assets procedures Supplemental Procedures to Policy #601.15 highlights: Requirements during Annual Inventory Process for lost and stolen assets Fixed Assets Website How is a fixed asset acquired?

All of the Above Answer # 4 Which one of these is a capitalized fixed asset? A. Equipment B. Land C. Art D. Buildings E. All of the Above Fixed Asset Requisition Problems Problems with descriptions and quantity Problems with lack of information in Internal Notes Problems with account codes Example 1 Poor Requisitions (Example 1) • Problem With Example 1: Unclear Description (GEM e4) • Solution: Enter Layman’s Term Description in Internal Notes or attach Internal Document providing information. Example: Electric Vehicle • Reason: Informs Fixed Assets on what the asset is and assigns an identifiable name for Inventory purposes. 49er Mart Example 1 - Corrected Example 1 - Corrected Example 2 -Server Poor Requisitions (Example 2) Poor Requisitions (Example 2) • Problem With Example 2: Assets are being purchased out of one account when multiple accounts should be used • Solution: When purchasing assets, be sure to purchase each asset out of its proper account • Reason: When proper accounts are not used, expense accounts are incorrect and financial statements will be inaccurate. Example 2 - Corrected Example 2 - Corrected Example 2 - Corrected 49er Mart Example 2 - Additional Example 3 Bioreactor Poor Requisitions (Example 3) Poor Requisitions (Example 3) Poor Requisitions (Example 3) • Problem With Example 3: No reference to the related items included in the asset. Non-capital items appear to be purchased out of the incorrect account. • Solution: Reference the items included in the asset. Example: (Items 1-8 all make up one asset - Bioreactor) • Reason: Not referencing all items included in the asset allows the asset to be capitalized below its true value. Example 3 - Corrected Fixed Asset Account Codes Account Codes (continued) Maintenance Contracts/Service Agreements: Contracts between the University and a vendor specifying a level of ongoing support for a product or piece of equipment. Maintenance agreements often cover a one-year or longer time period. Account Codes (continued) Support Services: Services purchased from independent contractors or external organizations for professional and consultative personal services. These services are needed for maintenance and/or ongoing operations and cannot be provided by the current staff. Such services are normally procured when there is no maintenance contract or service agreement to fall back on. An example of this type of expense would be payment for support services related to software when there is no maintenance contract or service agreement in place. Account Codes (continued) Repair & Maintenance Services: A one-time or short-term agreement between the University and a vendor to remediate a problem with a product or piece of equipment. Often the agreement rate is based upon an hourly labor charge plus parts and supplies. Both parts and labor are recorded in the same account. Note that repairs are corrective and restorative following wear and deterioration; maintenance is preventive and anticipatory. Account Codes (continued) Software Accounts: - Software is only capitalized if over $100,000. Any software purchased under $100,000 is coded as non-capital. Account Codes (continued) Software Accounts - Software is only purchased out of a software account if it is software that can be installed and operated on multiple assets, including replacement assets, if the original equipment fails. - If an asset is purchased and software is purchased with the asset that can only operate with the related asset, then the software will be purchased out of the same account as the equipment.

Missing Assets A missing asset list is compiled during the Annual Inventory. The Fixed Asset department will email departments a list of assets that were missing. University departments confirm if assets have been found or not. Inventory Control re-verifies any assets that have since been found. Final missing assets are forwarded to the Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs, Department Heads, and Internal Audit. They are also included on the State Bureau of Investigation Report. Department Head Responsibilities Take adequate precautions to ensure that arson, damage, theft, embezzlement, or misuse of any asset is prevented. Comply with University, State, and Federal policies and guidelines regarding inventory verification, inventory disposal, and reporting lost or stolen inventory. Upon a change in management, conduct an internal review and account for all assets (Recommended by FIT as “Best Practice”). Property Liaison Responsibilities Assist with tagging of assets and Annual Inventory Locate department assets before your scheduled inventory verification Notify Fixed Assets department of changes in the status of assets (i.e. stolen, lost, location change, missing/defaced tag, transfers, surplus, traded in) (Use Fixed Asset Equipment Disposition Form for this) Accountability Fixed Assets have become more scrutinized in recent years during state audits Not following correct policies and procedures leads to audit findings Could lead to restrictions on how we spend state funds!
