Bros, no one knows an inventory better than an experienced inventory officer.

If you like, pack all the auditors in KPMG and Deloitte... It'll be hard for you to monitor him unless the Inventory officer has a very high level of integrity.

The inventory officer will only give you this when you pay him well.

I always tell people, if your inventory officer is poorly paid, yet he remains and always give you zero variance, just know he's paying himself with your stock.

This is not coming from a professional in the field of audit or accounting otherwise it will read differently.

So you want me to believe that an inventory officer knows debit and credit more than an auditor who should or most likely be an Accountant??

You funny sha

Bros, you really underestimate a seasoned Inventory personnel.

😂

Not all 1 + 1 = 2 or 2 - 1 = 1.

Reason many auditors and internal control think a zero variance inventory = to high level of integrity and control.

Just pay your Inventory guys well so you can get the best of them.

Except you are conniving with process owners and procurement ,I don't know what magic you are doing .
It depends on the internal control officer and the accountants though

You guys really underestimate the Inventory guys. reasons, why most organizations pay them poorly and they steal from the organization.
