1 OPERATIONAL AND CONSUMABLE INVENTORY POLICY PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the management of inventory as a key institutional resource. This policy lays the foundation for the management of physical inventory and departmental responsibilities for key processes, and for the improvement of internal controls over these resources. Additionally, this policy governs the maintenance of balances on the general ledger for inventory. The overall purpose of this policy is to ensure that consistent and comprehensive management processes are in place to maintain strict controls over inventory and related supplies. POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MD Anderson) that various departments throughout the institution maintain inventory for which related balances are recorded on the general ledger. SCOPE This policy addresses the process of managing physical inventories, including conducting physical counts of inventory and recording adjustments to the general ledger based on those counts, as well as any adjustments resulting from purchasing and sales activity or the write off of stale inventory items. This policy applies specifically to items that meet the Inventory Capitalization Criteria for operational and consumable inventories outlined in this policy. Compliance with this policy is the responsibility of all faculty, trainees/students, and other members of MD Anderson s workforce. TARGET AUDIENCE The target audience for this policy includes, but is not limited to, faculty, trainees/students, and other members of MD Anderson s workforce involved with operational and consumable inventory. DEFINITIONS Comprehensive Physical Count: A count of all inventory recorded in the balance sheet with no regard given to the last cycle count or the dollar value of the items in inventory. Cycle Counts: Periodic physical inventory counts performed at a time other than year-end as a verification of effectiveness of the controls in place and to insure the inventory quantities are reasonably Page 1 of 6

2 close to those expected as a result of activity since the last Cycle Count. Cycle Counts are coordinated by the individual departments in charge of the inventory. The counts are to be documented and support is to be maintained and stored by the department in charge of the inventory. Cycle Counts cannot replace the annual Comprehensive Physical Count without prior approval of both the General Accounting Department (General Accounting) and the Internal Audit Department (Internal Audit). First-In, First-Out Inventory Method (FIFO): The inventory valuation method that assumes that the first goods purchased are the first goods used or sold, regardless of actual physical flow. This method is thought to most closely parallel the physical flow of goods in most industries. Because the earliest goods purchased are the first ones removed from the inventory account, the remaining balance is composed of items priced at most recent cost. Inventory: Supplies that meet the criteria defined in the section below, which requires them to be capitalized and treated as assets. See the Inventory Capitalization Criteria, Section 1.0 below. Last-In, First-Out Inventory Method (LIFO): The inventory valuation method that assumes that the last goods purchased are the first goods used or sold. This allows the matching of current costs with current revenue and provides the best measure of periodic income. However, unless costs remain relatively unchanged over time, the balance sheet under this method will usually misstate the ending inventory balance because it consists of costs from earlier periods. Obsolete (or Stale) Inventory: Obsolete, worn-out, or unusable items. It is departmental management responsibility to define procedures for handling obsolete items and for properly accounting for their disposal. Supplies: Items that are being purchased and expensed in the same period, and therefore are not being treated as Inventory for purposes of this policy. Therefore they do not meet the capitalization criteria defined in the section below. Weighted Average Inventory Method: An inventory valuation method that divides the cost of goods available for sale (beginning inventory plus net purchases) by the quantity of units available for sale to obtain a weighted-average cost. Ending inventory and cost of goods sold are then priced at the resulting average cost. PROCEDURE 1.0 Inventory Capitalization Criteria 1.1 For purposes of this policy, items will be considered Inventory and subject to all aspects of this policy and will be capitalized on the balance sheet, if they meet all of the following capitalization criteria: A. They are generally short lived (or current) assets; and B. They are consumable items or materials that are held for sale or used in the process of preparing another item or service for sale; and C. They are owned by MD Anderson (i.e., not consigned or under lease); and D. They are part of ongoing business operations (i.e., they are not strictly temporary in nature). 1.2 All items that meet this test must be physically counted, valued, and recorded in the general ledger on the balance sheet. There are other types of Inventories that may not meet all parts Page 2 of 6

3 of this test, but also require physical counting and reconciliations. However, the balances for these items will not be placed on the balance sheet. 2.0 Departmental Responsibilities: Inventory Procedures Any department that holds inventory will be expected to comply with or directionally be moving toward the following: 2.1 Each department holding Inventory is to provide comprehensive management and accounting for all Inventories in all locations. 2.2 A Comprehensive Physical Count will be conducted annually on a date as close to the fiscal year-end as possible. 2.3 If an approved perpetual system is being utilized, periodic Cycle Counts may be performed at the discretion of the department in charge of the Inventory to ensure accuracy of the perpetual system. 2.4 All count sheets for physical inventories conducted as part of an external audit will be submitted to General Accounting for verification purposes after the physical count. 2.5 Inventory statistics based on the results of the annual Comprehensive Physical Count will be turned in to Internal Audit prior to the annual close of the general ledger at year-end. All count sheets and observation of the count is subject to Internal Audit review. 2.6 Physical counts conducted as part of an external audit will be supervised by Internal Audit as deemed necessary by Internal Audit. 2.7 Any discrepancies between the extended total value for physical Inventory verified by General Accounting and the balance on the general ledger for those goods will be adjusted on the general ledger to reflect the correct balance per the physical count sheets. 2.8 Stale or obsolete Inventory items are to be identified by the departments at least annually, and communicated to General Accounting on a timely basis. General Accounting will remove the corresponding inventory balance from the balance sheet, and will write off the amount to the appropriate departmental expense account. 3.0 Inventory Methods 3.1 Valuation of Inventory is to be based on one of the following generally accepted accounting methods: A. FIFO (First-In, First-Out). B. LIFO (Last-In, First-Out). C. Weighted Average. 3.2 No changes to the selected inventory valuation method may be made without approval of General Accounting. 4.0 Perpetual Inventory Systems Any department that holds Inventory should use an inventory control system to perpetually monitor purchases (receipts), disbursements (issues), adjustments, and movement of Inventory between Page 3 of 6

4 multiple locations. All departments using periodic-based processes will be expected to transition to perpetual systems as soon as practical. 5.0 Inventory Statistics and Internal Controls 5.1 It is expected that all departments will reconcile the inventory balances, ensuring consistency between book value and on-hand counts, on a continual basis. Monthly reconciliations of beginning inventory, purchases, disbursements, transfers, adjustments, and ending inventory should be performed by all departments. It is expected that departmental management holding Inventory will manage and monitor key inventory statistics (such as inventory turnover ratios, shrinkage or loss percentages, days of inventory on hand, costs of goods sold, and trends in average inventory) in order to ensure that purchases and balances are being controlled and are within normal tolerance levels. Performance benchmarks for these inventory statistics should be collected and departmental management should benchmark their performance against these figures to help establish targets and tighter controls. 5.2 Additionally, it is expected that all departments will maintain a set of internal procedures for safeguarding and managing Inventories unique to their department. These procedures should include: A. Treating goods receipts, and returns inventory layout and bin management; B. Reporting discrepancies; C. Cycle counting; D. Managing consignment (or non-owned) assets; E. Managing inventory team member responsibilities; and F. Handling obsolete items. Page 4 of 6
