• Automated Validation: Apply "Data Validation" in Excel to the Status column to restrict inputs to standardized tags (e.g., In-Use, Stored, Lost, Retired).
• Execution: For every new asset assignment, generate a unique ID, populate the Excel master log, and require the Custodian to sign the hardcopy or a legally binding e-signature document (e.g., DocuSign/Adobe Sign).
• Audit Trail: Conduct a mandatory physical inventory audit every [6/12] months. Reconcile the physical state of the asset against the MASTER_INVENTORY_LOG and document discrepancies with a formal "Loss Report."
