Frequently Asked Questions

What is an inventory audit?

An inventory audit is a thorough examination of a company’s inventory records, which includes verifying physical inventory counts, reviewing valuation methods, and assessing inventory management systems. The main objective of an inventory audit is to ensure that the recorded inventory accurately reflects the actual stock on hand and that all records comply with applicable accounting standards.

An inventory audit provides critical assurance that your inventory records are accurate, helping to reduce the risk of financial misstatements and stock discrepancies. It also highlights areas where inventory control practices can be improved, leading to better stock management, cost reduction, and minimization of losses due to theft, damage, or obsolescence. Accurate inventory records support more reliable financial reporting and better decision-making.

During the audit process, we carefully review your inventory valuation methods to ensure they comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and UAE-specific accounting regulations. We verify that your inventory is properly categorized and valued at either the lower of cost or market value, and we ensure that all necessary adjustments are made to maintain compliance and transparency in your financial statements.

When discrepancies are detected, we prepare a detailed report outlining the nature of the issues and their potential financial impact. Along with the report, we provide clear and actionable recommendations to resolve these discrepancies. Our team also works with you to strengthen your inventory management practices, implementing better controls and monitoring systems to prevent future inaccuracies.

The recommended frequency for inventory audits depends on the scale and nature of your operations. Many businesses opt for an annual inventory audit to coincide with their year-end financial reporting. However, businesses with large inventories, rapid turnover, or high-value goods may find it beneficial to conduct audits more frequently to ensure continuous accuracy and better inventory control throughout the year.
