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.
