A Step-by-Step Guide to Performing Inventory Reconciliation
Step 1
Physical inventory count
A physical count of inventory is performed to determine the actual quantities of products on hand.
Step 2
Compare to records
The physical count is then compared to the inventory records in the accounting system to identify any discrepancies.
Step 3
Investigate discrepancies
If there are any discrepancies, further investigation is required to determine the cause of the discrepancy, such as theft, miscounting, or errors in the accounting records.
Step 4
Adjust records
Once the cause of the discrepancy is determined, adjustments are made to the accounting records to reflect the actual inventory levels.
Step 5
Reconcile
Finally, the inventory records are reconciled with the physical inventory count, and the process is repeated periodically to ensure ongoing accuracy.
Step 6
Reconcile Sales Tax Accounts
Once all adjustments have been made, the sales tax accounts can be reconciled. This involves comparing the adjusted sales tax liability in the company's financial records with the amount of sales tax remitted to the tax authorities. If the two amounts are now in agreement, the sales tax accounts are considered reconciled.
Step 7
Document the Reconciliation
The final step is to document the sales tax reconciliation process. This includes preparing a reconciliation report that summarizes the process, identifies any discrepancies, and documents any adjustments made to the company's financial records.
