Audit PBC: inventory and cost of sales
Prepared-by-client inventory rollforwards, costing method memos, obsolescence reserves, and third-party count reports for external audit.
What this template is for
Inventory audits hinge on existence, valuation, and cut-off. This PBC bundle collects rollforwards, costing policies, and count documentation so fieldwork is not delayed waiting for warehouse exports.
When to use it
- Manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, or distribution clients with material inventory.
- First-year audits after implementing a new WMS or 3PL.
Tips
- If inventory is fully outsourced, attach the custodian report and your GL mapping to their statement.
