Property Transfer
Statutory and Policy Basis
K.S.A. 75-3729 provides in part that the "…director of the Division of Accounts and Reports shall
. . .. direct the use of inventory records by all state agencies." The State of Kansas
Division of Accounts and Reports Policy and Procedure manual require the preparation
and maintenance of inventory records. The manual also requires reporting all inventory
transactions to Property Control at each state agency so that inventory records can
be maintained in such a manner as to facilitate the physical verification of inventory
items.
Procedures

books between departments, buildings or rooms must complete a Transfer of Property

Form and instructions for its completion are available online on the Office of Financial
Operations and Business Technology homepage of the WSU web site under Forms for Departments
