Which document is included in the 10-year retention and relates to a financial liability investigation of property loss?

• A. DD Form 200 (Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss)
• B. OPTAR Transmittal Letter Reports
• C. Source documents and accountability changes
• D. Select Letters of Authority and/or Appointment

Answer: (A)

The key idea is identifying the formal record that documents a financial liability investigation of property loss and its retention period. The form used to document a Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss (FLIPL) is the DD Form 200. It captures the investigation findings and any monetary liability assessed, making it the official record of the liability determination. This form is retained for 10 years as part of the Navy’s records policy for FLIPL actions. Other items listed don’t represent the liability-determining document with the 10-year retention: OPTAR Transmittal Letter Reports deal with funding, source documents and accountability changes cover general accountability records, and Letters of Authority or Appointment are authorization documents. Thus, the DD Form 200 is the document that fits both the purpose and the retention requirement.
