Property refers to all assets used in governmental operations. Property includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery, furniture, tools, etc., and intangibles. Individual departments and/or other operational units of California State University, Bakersfield having custodianship of equipment items should maintain stringent and accurate accounting controls.

Possession of equipment within a department makes the department accountable and liable should any item become lost or stolen.
