Assess whether pricing terms (e.g., discounts, rebates) are applied correctly. Cost Variance Analysis Perform cost variance analysis to compare the recorded cost of goods (COGS) in the inventory system against the actual costs incurred, identifying issues such as overcharging, underpricing, or changes in market prices. Price Changes Monitoring Track and assess any changes in pricing due to fluctuations in supplier prices, raw material costs, or market conditions. Ensure that price updates are timely and accurate within the inventory system to reflect current pricing. Profit Margin Analysis Review profit margins for products by analyzing the difference between acquisition cost and selling price. Identify areas where price adjustments may be needed to maintain profitability or market competitiveness. Inventory Valuation Perform inventory valuation based on the prices of goods in the system. Different valuation methods (e.g., FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average) can be applied depending on company policy and regulatory requirements. Price Trend Analysis Track pricing trends over time to identify patterns, such as price increases or decreases due to inflation, changes in supplier relationships, or demand fluctuations.

Coordinate with finance or accounting teams to reflect discrepancies in financial reports, if necessary. Reporting Document and report the results of the physical count, highlighting areas of concern, discrepancies, and required actions. Track inventory variance and determine its root cause (e.g., theft, damage, recording errors). Cycle Counts Implement cycle counting in which a smaller portion of inventory is counted regularly to identify problems before they affect overall inventory accuracy. Audits and Compliance Ensure adherence to internal and external audit processes regarding inventory control. Ensure compliance with company policies and regulations.
