but is not limited to, comparing all postings to the applicable property book page against
documents supporting those postings and verifying all hand receipt change documents.
The PBO searches storage areas under his control, and ensures end item identity was
not destroyed by consolidation, disassembly or mislabeling. When no conclusive
findings are made, take the following actions.
(a) Turn in overages as "found on installation" property.

preparing the report of survey, ensure the unit price used is current.

correct differences within sizes, makes, or models.

Adjust hand or subhand receipt and hand-receipt shortage annexes accordingly.

the required items were completely inventoried and the name of the individual who
conducted the inventory. Also state that differences have been accounted for
"according to AR 735-5 and DA PAM 710-2-1." The responsible officer must sign the
informal memorandum. File the original of the informal memorandum at property-book
level. File a copy of the informal memorandum at the unit level if the responsible officer
is a hand-receipt holder. If the property book is kept at unit level, send a copy of the
informal memorandum to the next higher level. Separate informal memorandums are
needed when the unit supported by more than one property book activity.
