What must an FLO do if financial liability is not recommended?

The correct response involves the procedure that must be followed when financial liability is not recommended, which entails forwarding the DD Form 200 to the appointing authority. This form is a crucial document in the financial liability investigation of property loss. If the determination is that financial liability is not warranted, it is critical to formally communicate this finding to the appointing authority for proper record-keeping and resolution of the case.

By forwarding the DD Form 200, the FLO ensures that the investigation’s results and recommendations are captured in an official manner, allowing for appropriate actions to be taken regarding the involved parties and their accountability. This step is necessary to maintain transparency and uphold proper accountability standards within the property management process.

The other choices relate to actions that would not be appropriate or necessary if financial liability is not recommended. For instance, notifying involved parties of their financial liability is irrelevant if liability is indeed not recommended. Keeping all records confidential does not align with the requirements for documenting findings appropriately, and conducting a follow-up investigation is unnecessary if the initial investigation has already concluded with the finding that no financial liability should be assigned.
