Modern Approaches to Surplus Disposal: Transparency, Compliance, and Fiscal Impact

Public agencies are under increasing pressure to ensure surplus asset disposal processes are transparent, compliant, and fiscally responsible. This session explores modern strategies and tools that align surplus management with today’s accountability and sustainability standards. Attendees will gain practical insight into how digital auction platforms, cooperative purchasing agreements, and data-driven reporting can streamline processes, reduce risk, and maximize returns—while maintaining full public transparency.
