Summarizes the count that was performed.

Little documentation relating to the gift certificates.

No reference to gift certificates on audit program, just the security check list.No reference to review the clothing log in the audit program.More in-depth description of how allowances are allocated

Currently little coverage in this area.

Prior to this none of the w/p's documents the cash handling processes in the store.

Review the cashier variances and compare them to the provincial average. If cashier variances are not reported on the clerk audaction report there is a high probability that cashier variances are not being recorded in the store (everyone makes an error from time to time). More work should be performed surrounding the end of day cash out procedures, as well as observing for the presence of "slush funds" or "take a penny, leave a penny containers" at the till area, or in the office (these are not approved). If cashier variances are high discuss with the manager to determine the possible cause, and what course has been taken to reduce the errors.

Review the stock variances and compare them to the provincial average. High variances may be an indication of customer losses, shipping and receiving errors (case lots), poor count procedures (units), poor organization in the warehouse (case lots), etc. Low variances may be an indication that variances have not been correctly adjusted, if this is the case the variances noted during the audit count may be high (if unreported variances are material it could be considered financial statement fraud). Discuss with the store manager (are they aware of any problems, what action has been taken, are they monitoring the situation, etc.). Expand your audit sample as required.

Who counts the sales proceeds?

Who reviews credit card slips, cheques, coupons, and empty container chits and how often is this performed?

How and where is the count recorded (pencil/ink, on reading/deposit envelop/ISP/adding machine tape)?

How are variances addressed?

Who enters the deposit information into the ISP?

Who prepares the deposit envelop and how is it sealed?

This is always a risk as cashiers may mentally keep a tally of extra cash from unrecorded sales and may not require the actual reading to know the total of unrecorded cash in their tray.

3. Verify Wine/Spirits, Beer inventory. i) Count 20% of the total store stock excluding allied products and minitures, and 100% of the gift certificates. Utilize two tests to ensure all physical stock is reported and all reported stock is physically present. Count an additional 10% of the stock in any product category where 30% or more of the counted SKU's have a variance. Review the service level report for negative inventory amounts (these are to be verified and corrected). All variances are to be verified by an employee of the store (preferably the manager).

ii) Summarize the count variances and have a store employee adjust the perpetual inventory records (obtain a copy of the signed LINCS adjustment report for the audit file).

iii) Observe the adjustment process ensuring: · Adjustments are verified prior to being saved. · The LINCS adjustment reports are initialled to indicate who performed/approved the adjustment.

4. Quarterly inventory counts are conducted. (Section 3.11.7 Store Policy and Procedure Manual)

· Counts shall be completed in periods 3, 6, 9, and 13 (year end).· All cases counted in the warehouse shall be marked.· Have a structured process to ensure that inventory is not missed in the count.· All variances must be verified by another employee.· Counts must be recorded in ink.· Corrections have a line drawn through the original count with the correction written above or to the side.· Extensions are to be rechecked by another employee.· Count sheets must be signed by the counter and verifier.· A different employee enters the variances.· All documents must be retained.

i) Review the Stock Over/Short information on the LINCS "Store Inventory GL Adjustment" report for an indication of when the last four inventory counts have been performed. · Review count sheets of most recent count to determine when they were printed.· Discuss with manager to ensure they have been conducting inventory counts quarterly.

ii) For the most recent count, review the count sheets for accuracy and completion.

iii) For the sample same as ii) above, review the count sheets for an indication that they were reviewed by a second employee (document in the audit file).

iv) Review the count procedures with the store manager:· Employees should be rotated (not count the same section every count, and manager should determine who counts each section).· A structured procedure should be followed to ensure inventory is not missed during the count.· Cases in the warehouse should be marked when they are counted.· All counts are to be recorded using ink.

B11
Count procedures: Initially 20% of the store inventory will be counted in two tests (10% each for all spirits and beer, and 15% and 5% for all coolers and wines). If the total number of SKU's with variances exceeds 30% of the total SKU's counted for a specific category an additional 10% of the SKU's for that category are to be counted (5% for each test). Two tests are performed to ensure that all product reported in the perpetual inventory is present, and that all inventory present at the store is correctly reported in the perpetual inventory system. Print the count worksheets by price list sequence so that products in like categories are grouped together. For spirits and beer every 10th product is counted for each test for a total count of 20% of the total population in these categories. For coolers and wine every 6th product is counted for test1 (15%), and every 20th product is counted for test 2 (5%) for a total count of 20% of the total population in these categories. The allied products should still be printed and scanned for reasonability (unusually high inventories, or negative inventories). Test 1: (Count recorded in blue ink) This test consists of counting from the shelf to the count worksheets. The first product counted for each category will be determined using the random number table (count in from the top left hand corner of the section for each category). Spirits and Beer; From your random starting point count every 10th product until you complete the category. Wine and Coolers; From your random starting point count every 6th product until you complete the category. Test 2: (Count recorded in orange ink) This test consists of counting from the count worksheets to the shelf. The first product counted for each category will be determined using the random number table (count down from the first product printed for each category). Move to the next product on the count worksheet if the required product has been counted in the first test. Spirits and Beer; From your random starting point count every 10th product. Wine and Coolers; From your random starting point count every 20th product. Determine the variance threshold: Total SKU's counted for each product category * .30 = variance threshold. Increase your count by 10% for any category were the total number of count variances exceeds the variance threshold. Repeat tests 1 and 2 above with an increment of every 20th product.
D11
Indicate the total number of products counted, the total number of SKU's in the store and calculate the % of total SKU's counted.
F12
Include the total number of products with a variance, calculate the % of products counted that had a variance, and record the net dollar variance for the audit count.

Calculated using the allotment outlined in the Clothing Policy. This estimate assumes each fulltime employee will utilize their one year shoe allowance, and prorates the part-time shoe allowance on a yearly basis. This analysis does not factor in employees that have obtained part-time status and received the full one year shoe allowance. When hired as a casual, employees must purchase their own safety shoes. Casual employees earn part-time status after working 150 hours, at this point they are reimbursed for their initial shoe purchase (up to $90 plus tax). After this, shoe allowances are prorated based on the number of hours worked.
