The furniture disposed of was the older items and those associated with the legacy properties that were disposed of.
CRE: The assets disposed were at St Dunstan's and transfered at nil value to PADA on transfer of the buildings. EHRC completed a physical verification of the assets and £24 thousand could not be found. The NAO had noted in prior years concerns on the robustness of the fixed asset register and controls, so EHRC undertook to validate the assets and make necessary write offs in agreement with the NAO as part of the inherited assets and liabilities of the CRE. Given the prior year conerns of the NAO, it is not possible to establish over what timescales the discrepency arose in the fixed asset register.
DRC: Furniture at offices no longer used was disposed of, most from Fox Court was moved to Manchester, some furniture in Manchester disposed as surplus to requirements.
EOC: Furniture at offices no longer used was disposed of, some furniture in Manchester disposed surplus to requirements as DRC furniture from Fox Court used.
