Document Summary

Inventory often is one of the largest amounts listed under assets on the statement of financial position, which means that inventory represents a significant amount of the resources available to the business. The inventory may be excessive in amount, which is a needless waste of resources; alternatively it may be too low, which may result in lost sales. Therefore, for internal users inventory control is very important. On the income statement, inventory exerts a direct impact on the amount of income. Therefore, statement users are interested particularly in the amount of this effect and the way in which inventory is measured. Because of its impact on both the statement of financial position and the income statement, inventory is of particular interest to all statement users. Fundamentally, inventory should include those items, and only those items, legally owned by the business.
