Which statement best defines custodial accountability?

Custodial accountability is about who physically has the property and how that possession is documented. It requires you to keep the item in your custody and maintain records showing where it is and who has it, such as issue/turn-in receipts and inventory logs. This focus on physical possession and accurate documentation ensures traceability and safekeeping of assets. Financial liability for losses relates to who pays if something is lost or damaged, which is a separate aspect. Insurance coverage and inventory valuation deal with risk protection and value measurement, not the act of custody and record-keeping.
