What is the purpose of the Report of Survey Form CG-5267?

• A. Record of asset purchase
• B. Inventory listing for assets
• C. Investigation conducted by the board of survey
• D. Maintenance request form

Answer: (C)

The form is used to document the investigation into a loss or discrepancy of government property conducted by a board of survey. When property goes missing, is damaged beyond repair, or otherwise requires formal review, a Board of Survey conducts an inquiry and the CG-5267 records its findings, identifies accountability, and outlines the recommended disposition of the asset (such as repair, replacement, or write-off). This isn’t a record of purchases, a simple asset inventory, or a maintenance request, but the official report that captures what happened, who may be responsible, and what should be done with the property.
