When the Hand Receipt Holder (HRH) is replaced, which inventory action is conducted?

• A. Annual Inventory
• B. Change of Hand Receipt Holder Inventory
• C. Joint Inventory
• D. Sensitive Item Inventory

Answer: (B)

When the Hand Receipt Holder is replaced, the inventory action performed is a Change of Hand Receipt Holder Inventory. This process specifically updates accountability by transferring all items listed on the hand receipt from the outgoing holder to the incoming holder, confirming each item's presence, identity, quantity, and location under the new holder. It ensures there’s a clear, auditable record of who is responsible for each item and helps prevent loss or misallocation as part of standard property accountability procedures. This differs from a routine annual inventory, which is a general scheduled check, a joint inventory which involves multiple parties, or a sensitive item inventory which focuses on high-sensitivity items requiring extra scrutiny.
