The Capital Asset Reference Guide (the CARG) was developed by BC’s Ministry of Advanced Education for use by BC’s public post-secondary institutions in connection with capital projects that are funded by the Ministry, whether in whole or in part. The CARG was informed the Provinces Capital Asset Management Framework (the CAMF) and by a study undertaken by the Ministry on capital planning, approvals, implementation close out processes employed in other government agencies in BC and other jurisdictions. The current version of the CARG (Version 1.1, April 10, 2013) can be found at http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/cppm/ and replaces the previous version of February 20, 2013, which in turn replaced the edition which was last updated in 2005.
