Document Summary

The purpose: to check the accuracy of their perpetual inventory records, to determine the amount of inventory lost due to shrinkage or theft. Determining inventory quantities takes two steps: taking a physical inventory of goods on hand, determining the ownership of goods. Counting done by employees who do not have responsibility for custody or record- keeping of inventory b/c then they would be checking own work. The validity of each inventory item should be established during the count. In many companies, particularly those in the technology industry, inventory obsolescence is also an issue. Another employee or auditor should perform a second count. Since counting should take place in teams of two, both members count the item. In the event the two counts don"t arrive at the same quantity, a third count is required. Inventory belongs to seller until it reaches buyers destination. Inventory belongs to buyer when it reaches the buyers destination.
