- a formal policy on “Fixed assets management” has been established and implemented in 2013 and that the Fixed Assets Retirement Committee has been created and is functioning to give advisory opinions on the retirement of assets,

12. Regrets that physical inventory results show serious weaknesses in the safeguarding and tracking of fixed assets and that there is no tracking procedure for software and internal components (2 370 items out of the 5 878 ICT fixed assets recorded); expresses concern, moreover, that 306 items could not be found, of which 93 were laptops and 29 were computers; calls on the Agency to remedy this situation and to duly follow this up before initiating the 2013 discharge procedure;

11. Acknowledges from the Court of Auditors' report that the results of the latest physical inventory carried out in 2011 show several shortcomings, notably as regards the low proportion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) assets checked in terms of value; notes, moreover, that no formal policy on the inventory of fixed assets is in place; calls on the Agency to inform the discharge authority of the actions taken to implement a formal policy on the inventory of fixed assets;

9. Urges, nevertheless, the Agency to put in place an exhaustive physical inventory and ensure the correctness of the accounting records; stresses the importance of this recommendation and calls on the Agency to inform the discharge authority of the tools put in place to redress this deficiency; notes in this respect that the Court of Auditors also reported that the inventory of fixed assets was managed using a spreadsheet, which did not guarantee the integrity of the data;
