Keeping track of theft-sensitive items, whether located on campus or in our home offices, continues to be an important responsibility of department administrators. Non-inventorial items such as laptops, cell phones, cameras, tools, cash, gift cards, event tickets, and stamps can be easy targets for bad actors in our workspace and easily overlooked when not tracked and periodically inspected for losses.
If any UCSB assets cannot be accounted for immediately contact your Business Officer, UCSB Police, and Risk Management to report the loss.
Each department should:
· Identify theft-sensitive non-inventorial items
· Establish internal controls and procedures
· Conduct an inventory of theft-sensitive items annually
Examples of theft-sensitive inventory and non-inventory templates are available at:
