Know what is happening inside your business.

Count the stock. Then investigate the system that created the variance.

A physical count tells you what exists at a point in time. It does not automatically tell you why system stock differs from reality. Our practice combines count discipline with process review so the business can move from correction to prevention.

Stock & Inventory Audit

Scope can include count planning, SKU segmentation, counter allocation, count sheets or digital capture, first count, controlled recounts, exception handling, damaged/expired observations, sealed-package rules, location control and count sign-off.

Inventory Reconciliation & Variance Analysis

We compare physical quantities with the agreed system or record baseline, classify material variances and help trace likely operational causes such as receiving errors, unposted transfers, returns, adjustments, unit-of-measure issues, duplicate SKUs, shrinkage or transaction timing.

Process & Control Review

We examine the transaction path from purchase order and receiving through storage, transfer, sale/issue, return and adjustment. The goal is to identify where stock can move without an authorised record, where duties are poorly separated and where management lacks exception visibility.

Continuous Inventory Control

Where appropriate, we design cycle-count schedules, ABC classification, stock adjustment approvals, negative-stock controls, batch/expiry rules, reorder policies, discrepancy thresholds and periodic management review. An annual count cannot compensate for twelve months of uncontrolled movement.

Our audit services focus on business operations, inventory, processes and operational controls. Rheme Solutions does not provide statutory financial-statement audits.
