FIXED ASSET SYSTEM
The fixed asset acquisition procedures for Turner Brothers, Inc., are as follows.
Supervisors in the user departments determine their fixed asset needs and submit bids or orders directly to contractors, vendors, or suppliers. In the case of competitive bidding, the user makes the final selection of the vendor and negotiates the prices paid. The assets are delivered directly to the user areas. The users inspect and formally receive the assets. They submit the invoice to the cash disbursements department for payment.
