Public sector asset tracking: a practical operator guide

Define an inventory workflow around records, assigned verification and discrepancy review, with local requirements checked separately.

HATT Product Lab · · Updated

Asset Inventory prototype: asset table and sample asset record. Demonstration data.

An inventory process needs to connect a registered asset with an observation and any resulting correction. Public-sector requirements vary; this note describes workflow design rather than legal or audit advice.

Define the records that must remain explainable

Identify the register used for the count, the locations included and the roles checking the assets. Keep an observation distinguishable from a later correction to the record.

A location mismatch, for example, needs more context than an overwritten location field. Capture the finding and the reason for the eventual resolution.

Establish the output with its recipients

Ask the receiving finance or audit team what information they need and how unresolved differences should appear. Confirm required formats and retention rules with the responsible organisation rather than assuming a generic export is sufficient.

Evaluate the available evidence

HATT Asset Inventory is a prototype showing asset records, commissions and report views with sample data. A walkthrough can support a discussion of those screens and your process. It is not evidence of a completed public-sector deployment or a certified audit system.
