Document Summary

Whether companies use a periodic or perpetual system, physical inventory must still be counted at the end of the period: To check the accuracy of the perpetual inventory records. To determine the amount of inventory lost to shrink or theft. To ensure financial statements are a true and fair representation of inventory values. To ensure inventory is properly counted, companies must have a good system of internal control: Employees who perform the count should not have responsibility for custody or record- keeping (segregation of duties) Need to consider ownership of goods when taking inventory. Goods in transit at the end of the period make the determination of ownership more complicated: Determine who has legal title to goods in transit. Include in inventory if company has legal title. Ownership of consigned goods remains with the owner (the consignor), not the holder of the goods (the consignee)
