2DoD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulation Volume 6B, Chapter 10
* February 2023
10-31
Stewardship PP&E assets include Heritage Assets and Stewardship Land. Disclose, if
applicable, the following:
12.2.1. If the cost of Heritage Assets and stewardship land transferred from other federal
entities is not known, the receiving entity must disclose the number of physical units by major
category. Do not recognize Heritage Assets and stewardship land acquired through donation or
devise as a cost in calculating net cost, but disclose the fair value of the property. If the fair value
is not known or reasonably estimable, disclose information related to the type and quantity of
assets received.
12.2.2. Disclose any amounts expensed during the current period in the Statement of Net
Cost (SNC) for the costs of acquiring, constructing, improving, reconstructing, or renovating
Heritage Assets (other than Multi-Use Heritage Assets), and the cost of acquiring stewardship land
and any costs to prepare a stewardship asset for its intended use. If the accounting system does
not provide the necessary information to make the required disclosure for all or part of these
expenses, the reporting entity must make the following disclosure to recognize the weakness and
to disclose the portion of the expenses that are known. (If no portion of the expenses is known,
include only the first sentence of the disclosure.)
12.2.3. Disclose that the reporting entity’s accounting system does not capture information
relative to Heritage Assets separately and distinctly from normal operations. Where it was able to
separate the cost of acquiring, constructing, improving, reconstructing, or renovating
Heritage Assets, the reporting entity identified the dollar amount for the FY.
12.3 Heritage Assets
Heritage Assets are items of historical, natural significance, cultural, educational, or artistic
(e.g., aesthetic) importance, or items with significant architectural characteristics. Heritage Assets
are expected to be preserved indefinitely. SFFAS 29, “Heritage Assets and Stewardship Land,”
requires entities with Stewardship PP&E to reference a note on the Balance Sheet where required
disclosures relative to these assets are contained. Rather than a separate note, DoD discloses
Heritage Assets with the General PP&E note.
12.3.1. Reporting. Reporting entities will disclose the beginning counts, additions,
deletions, and ending counts of their Heritage Assets, by category for the period presented.
Disclose the quantity of Multi-Use Heritage Assets (i.e., Heritage Asset buildings used
predominantly for government operations) in the schedule.
12.3.2. Categories. Report balances for Heritage Assets within the following categories.
12.3.2.1. Buildings and Structures. Building and Structures include buildings and
structures listed on, or eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places, including
Multi-Use Heritage Assets. This category also includes National Historic Landmarks; buildings
or structures that are contributing elements to districts listed on, or eligible for, the
National Register of Historic Places or a National Historic Landmark District; and buildings and
