To determine the amount of inventory lost to shrinkage or theft. Someone counting the goods and someone recording the goods in terms of values separation of duties. To ensure inventory is properly counted, companies must have a good system of internal control: o! Employees who perform the count should not have responsibility for custody or record-keeping o! Second count by another employee or auditor o! 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: o! Determine who has legal title to goods in transit o!
