The correct answer is PPE acquisitions for the current period have already been partially verified.

Explanation:

The source of the debits in the asset account is the acquisition journal: PPE acquisitions for the current period have already been partially verified as part of the acquisition and payment cycle.

The occurrence, integrity, accuracy, cut and classification of PPE acquisitions would have been examined: asset disposal, depreciation are not proven as part of the acquisition and payment cycle

PPE: only look for changes from year to year

Inventory: should not be maintained for more than 1 year
