# New York Auditors Flag School IT Inventory Gaps

A New York State audit found that the Academy of Health Sciences Charter School lacked a formal IT inventory policy and had incomplete asset records. Auditors could not locate 13 of 45 sampled devices, valued at approximately $4,020, and found that reported disposals lacked supporting documentation. The school disputed characterizing most exceptions as unexplained losses but generally agreed with the recommendations. The report identifies an asset-governance and internal-control issue for public education entities; it does not announce a contract or solicitation.

- Education procurement and IT teams can use the findings to evaluate whether inventory policies cover asset tracking, record updates, and documentation of disposals.
- Contractors supporting school technology or asset-management processes may find demand for services that strengthen inventory records and control procedures, though no specific opportunity is identified in the report.
- Procurement professionals can incorporate documented asset accountability and disposal procedures into relevant technology-management requirements and oversight practices.
