Inventory Verification
An inventory verification is cross-checking your actual inventory levels against your financial records. It also helps you ensure that your physical inventory matches your inventory system. Look at it this way: if you thought you had Rs.10000 but discovered you only have Rs.9000, you'd be upset. The same applies to your inventory. An inventory audit helps reduce shrinkage. Shrinkage is what you have when your store has fewer inventory items than are listed in your records. The leading causes of inventory shrinkage include shoplifting, employee theft, administrative errors, vendor fraud, process errors and product damage.
