What the service includes ↓About the service
A stocktake has revealed a shortage. That is a reason to investigate, not an explanation of the cause. Understanding what happened requires comparing the physical stock with supporting documents and the rules used to deduct inventory.
An iiko inventory accounting audit is a one-off review of accounting quality. Its purpose is to establish which data can be trusted and which areas require correction.
What needs to be checked?
A review should begin with product records and recipe structures, then move on to documents and stock count results. It is important to trace the movements of selected products rather than focus only on the total value of discrepancies.
For example, have all receipts been recorded? Were the correct products selected? Have stock transfers been documented? Does the recipe in the system match actual preparation? In iiko, reliable balances depend on timely recording of stock movements, while food-cost calculations depend on recipe information.
Why should a discrepancy not immediately be treated as theft?
Suppose a product is physically in the kitchen, but its transfer from the main store has not been recorded. Checking one storage location in isolation may reveal a discrepancy even though the problem lies in the paperwork.
A sound conclusion therefore requires alternative explanations to be checked. An unusual transaction is a reason to request documents and clarification, not proof of misconduct.
What should the audit deliver?
A useful finding is specific: where the issue was found, which figures it affects and what needs to be checked or changed. Saying “the accounting is incorrect” does not help employees resolve the problem.
The service includes a written report with findings and recommendations. Priority should be given to issues that continue to distort current operations before moving on to other tasks.
An audit does not replace ongoing inventory accounting. It identifies problems and sets the direction for further work.
