Why is it necessary?
This is a two-sided (at least) document that is drawn up for the purpose of transferring goods from one person to another. There are many options for who draws up the document:
- two employees of a budget organization;
- institution and its employee;
- two organizations that have entered into an agreement to purchase or transfer for storage.
For all these business transactions, you will need to fill out a transfer and acceptance certificate.
Form for acceptance and transfer of goods
Organizations usually have ready-made forms for such acts, created by developing them independently, so all that remains is to fill them out carefully in order to avoid unpleasant moments later.
For information on the form of the document used for acceptance of goods by the buyer, read the article “Unified Form TORG-1 - Certificate of Acceptance of Goods”.
We will talk in more detail about the details that must be present in the acceptance certificate of goods.
How to register and how long to store
It is more correct to transfer the purchased goods using the unified document TORG-12 - a unified form of consignment note. But if it is not possible to draw it up, and the terms of the contract allow or even insist on drawing up an act of transfer of material assets, then remember that it is the primary accounting document transferred to the accounting service. This means that it is necessary to indicate mandatory details (Article 9 of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 N 402-FZ). It must also contain the following information:
- name and date of compilation;
- name of the organization and employee who compiles;
- content of the fact of economic life (what we convey, on what basis);
- units of measurement of transferred items, their quantity, price;
- job title, signature and transcript of the signature of the person receiving the goods and materials.
It is drawn up in two copies, and then a copy is given to each of the parties to the transaction. Like other primary accounting documents, it is stored for five years after the reporting year.
IMPORTANT!
Remember that such an act does not replace the contract, but is drawn up on its basis!
What to include in the goods acceptance certificate
It was mentioned above that the goods acceptance certificate must contain some mandatory details, in particular:
- Name (act of acceptance and transfer of goods), date and place of its preparation.
- The preamble must indicate within the framework of the execution of which contract the act of acceptance and transfer of goods is drawn up, as well as the names of its parties. If the act is drawn up between legal entities, then their names, full names of representatives are indicated and references are made to the document on the basis of which the representatives participate in the preparation and signing of the act (if this is a manager, then his powers are enshrined in the statutory documents, and if the representative is an employee of the organization, then his powers can be specifically reflected in the same documents, or a power of attorney is issued in his name, data that must be reflected in the act). If the parties to the agreement are individuals, then the act reflects their names, passport details, and place of registration.
- Full description of the transferred goods (article, brand, model, quantity, unit cost and total cost of the goods).
- Information about identified defects or the absence thereof, about violation of the terms of delivery of the goods (it should be noted that an indication of the absence of identified defects in the goods does not deprive the recipient of the opportunity to make quality claims after acceptance within the time limits established by law or contract).
- The text of the acceptance certificate for the transfer of goods is completed with personal signatures of the participants in the acceptance and transfer procedure, as well as seals (if any).

How to draw up a TORG-15 act on the write-off of goods
Sample documentation in the TORG-15 form is used in situations where damage, damage or scrap of any material assets is detected. TORG-15 refers to primary accounting documentation, but the use of this particular form has been considered optional since 2013.

Fact! To draw up TORG-15, a commission approved by the organization is involved. It includes at least 3 people: a representative of the administration, a financially responsible person and any third representative. Often this may be a health inspector.
As a result of drawing up the paper, the damage caused is assessed, and the person responsible for damage or scrap of valuables is assessed. The amount of damage is written off from him.
The form consists of two sheets, compiled f. TORG-15 as follows:
- at the top there is a block of information about the organization and structural unit;

How to draw up for the reception and transfer of material assets

In this case, it is necessary to draw up a document. This can be done in any form with the obligatory indication of the date of the procedure, the name of the items of transfer, their quantity and the persons to whom the values are transferred.

One copy is at the MOL, the second is in the accounting department.
The transfer of material assets for temporary storage should be formalized with paper confirming that the inventory assets have been transferred for storage. For this purpose, a unified form MX-1 has been created (OKUD code 0335001), which is not mandatory for use, but is very convenient to use, therefore it is widely used in budgetary organizations.
