Stock Audit Services

Stock Audit is a critical process that verifies the accuracy of inventory records and ensures the proper valuation of stock. It is often required by banks, financial institutions, and management to assess the health of a company’s inventory and working capital position.

Our Stock Audit services help identify discrepancies in physical stock, prevent pilferage or misuse, and improve inventory control systems. We conduct thorough inspections at warehouses, factories, and retail locations — ensuring that stock levels, movement, and documentation are accurate and compliant with internal policies and financial standards.

Why is Stock Audit Important?

Accurate stock records are crucial for making informed financial and operational decisions. Discrepancies in stock levels can lead to revenue loss, poor forecasting, misreporting, and even fraud. A regular stock audit helps:

  • Identify stock pilferage, theft, or mismanagement

  • Validate inventory valuations and financial reporting

  • Improve inventory control systems and reduce wastage

  • Ensure compliance with internal controls and lending conditions

  • Provide confidence to lenders and investors
