Who is signed for and financially responsible for the CASL?

Accountability for signed-for assets and the associated financial responsibility rests with a designated accountable officer. This role is defined to both sign for government property when it’s issued and bear the financial liability for losses, damage, or misappropriation of those assets. That combination—receipt acknowledgment through signing and statutory financial accountability—is what makes the accountable officer the correct answer here. The commanding officer has overarching command and policy responsibility, but not the specific per-item financial liability for assets. The SSA supervisor oversees procedures and storage, not the formal financial liability for the CASL items. The supply clerk handles day-to-day transactions and record-keeping, but does not carry the official financial accountability for the property.
