Policies differ in cases of absolute title and residual title |

When the agency has absolute title to a capital asset: 1) include the value of the capital asset in the annual financial statements, and 2) include the capital asset in the capital asset inventory system or the Facilities Portfolio Management Tool (FPMT), if inventoriable. When an external entity, such as the federal government, retains residual title to a capital asset: 1) include the capital asset in the capital asset inventory system or the Facilities Portfolio Management Tool (FPMT), if inventoriable. This includes capital assets on lease or long-term loan. Temporary custodial responsibility or title shall not be considered absolute for the purposes of this chapter. |

Assets in use by subtenant agencies |
| The purchasing agency is the owner of and has responsibility for the proper accounting and reporting of capital assets acquired through a capital project. If the authorizing legislation for a capital project provides capital assets for more than one agency or for agencies other than the purchasing agency, the purchasing agency may, by agreement, condition the use of such capital assets by the subtenant agency. This agreement could include making the subtenant agency responsible for all reporting requirements for those capital assets. Upon vacation of the agreement, all ownership rights and responsibilities revert to the purchasing agency. |
