When property is at a remote location, records must clearly show who is in control of it and where it is. This establishes accountability by identifying the exact location and the custodian responsible for safekeeping. It creates a verifiable chain of custody, makes audits and inspections feasible, and helps prevent loss or misplacement.

Serial numbers, value or depreciation, and the date of acquisition each provide useful information, but they don’t communicate who is responsible for the item or where it is currently located. For example, recording that a piece of equipment is at Site Alpha and assigned to Sergeant Smith shows both its location and who is charged with caring for it.
