Why is Inventory Control Important?
Inventory is a significant asset and for many
companies the largest asset.
Inventory is central to the main activity of
merchandising and manufacturing
companies.
Mistakes in determining inventory cost can
cause critical errors in financial statements.
Inventory must be protected from external
risks ( such as fire and theft) and internal
fraud by employees.

Gross Profit %age is 20%
• Margin based on sale price so sales are taken
100% and equation will be
Sales = CGS+ GP
100%= 80% + 20%
• Markup based on cost so costs are taken 100%
and equation will be
Sales = CGS+ GP
120% = 100% + 20%

Valuation of inventory
10
IAS 2 states that ‘the cost of
inventories shall comprise
The purchase cost of inventory will consist of the following:
• the purchase price
• plus import duties and other non-recoverable taxes (but excluding recoverable
sales tax)
• plus transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the purchase
(carriage inwards), if these costs are additional to the purchase price.
• The purchase price excludes any settlement discounts, and is the cost after
deduction of trade discount.
Conversion costs
Conversion costs consist of:
• costs directly related to units of production, such as costs of direct labour (i.e. the
cost of the labour employed to perform the conversion work)
• fixed and variable production overheads, which must be allocated to costs of
items produced and closing inventories. (Fixed production overheads must be
allocated to costs of finished output and closing inventories on the basis of the normal
production capacity in the period)

Inventory counts (stock takes)
• A stock take is a physical verification of the
amount of inventory that a business has.
• Each item of inventory is counted and entered
onto inventory sheets. The inventory counted can
then be valued.
Periodic inventory systems
• Inventory counts are vital for the operation of the
periodic inventory system as it depends on the
closing inventory at the end of each period being
recognised in the system of accounts.
18
Perpetual inventory systems
• Inventory counts are also important to the operation of
perpetual inventory systems as the identify differences
between the balance on the inventory account (the
inventory that should be there) and the actual physical
quantity of inventory.
• The inventory account must be adjusted for any material
difference.
• Any difference should be investigated. Possible causes of
difference between the balance on the inventory account
and the physical inventory counted include the following.
a) Theft of inventory.
b) Damage to inventory with failure to record that damage.
c) Mis-posting of inventory receipts or issues (for example
posting component A as component B).
d) Failure to record a receipt.
e) Failure to record an issue.
19
Timing of inventory counts
• Ideally the inventory count takes place on the last
day of an accounting period (the reporting date).
However, this is not always possible due to the
day on which the last day of the accounting
period falls or perhaps, not having enough
employees to count the inventory at all sites at
the same time.
• If the inventory is counted at a date that differs
from the reporting date the balance must be
adjusted for transactions between the two dates.
