Lost, stolen, surplus or scrap assets

Lost assets Detective

As you keep track of your assets during the year, you may discover that one is lost. If you have made every attempt to locate the asset within your department, you may report the lost item to CAMS.

Fill out a CA-4 form and mail or fax the completed form to CAMS. Once CAMS receives the completed form, we will update the condition of the asset to Lost.

Lost items stay on CAMS for one year in hopes that the department will be successful in locating the item. If the item is found, the department should notify CAMS. In the event that the department does not locate the item within a year, the asset will be removed from the CAMS system.

Stolen assets

In the event that a theft has occurred, contact Campus Police to file a report. Send a copy of the police report to CAMS and we will update the condition of the asset to Stolen status.

Stolen items stay on CAMS for one year in hopes that the missing asset will be recovered. If the item is found, the department should notify both CAMS and Campus Police. In the event that the department does not recover the item within a year, the asset will be removed from the CAMS system.

Surplus or scrap assets

Computer If your department has a broken or unwanted inventory asset, do not throw the item away. You must send the item to the Surplus department. To send an item to Surplus, fill out a disposition form at: http://www.acs.ncsu.edu/scripts/warehouse/surplus. The Surplus department will pick up the item and provide a signed form as your receipt.

Fax or mail a copy of the receipt to the CAMS department. We will then remove the item from your inventory listing.

In some cases, you may need to report a scrap asset that has been salvaged for parts, destroyed or thrown away.  To report a scrap asset, fill out a CA-4 form and fax or mail a copy to the CAMS department. We will then remove the item from your inventory listing.
