Inventory is a complex accounting and auditing area


It is usually material, complex, and subject to manipulation

Large number of inventory-related frauds have been perpetrated

Requires exercise of high levels of professional skepticism by the auditor

Frauds in this cycle involve overstatement of inventory or assets and understatement of expenses

Theft of inventory by the employee

Inventory shrinkage: Reduction in inventory presumed to be due to physical loss or theft

Employee schemes involving fictitious vendors as means to transfer payments to themselves

A need to understand the controls that the client designs and implements to address the inherent
and fraud risks of material misstatement

transaction controls at the account and assertion levels
Such understanding is normally gained by means of a walkthrough of the process, inquiry,
observation, and review of the client’s documentation
