West Virginia state government is having a hard time keeping track of its surplus property.
A legislative audit has found that the Department of Administration agency assigned to the task lacks an inventory of all property worth $1,000 or more. State surplus includes such items as office supplies, furniture and vehicles.
The audit also found that the agency owes the state fleet more than $1.3 million from surplus vehicles sold since 2006, but has handed over only $92,419.
Auditors say there's no indication of theft or misuse at this time.
The State Agency for Surplus Property says it's creating an automated inventory system, which was approved more than a year ago.
Agency officials also say they agree with the audit's findings, and will carry out its recommendations.
