Inventory turnover: Significant decrease compared to the previous year = Review of overcapacity of inventories, suspicion of obsolescence (valuation and distribution) of inventories
Gross profit margin: Significant increase = Suspected understatement of cost of sales through overstatement of inventories
The manager's claim for the relevant account item: inventory reality, cost allocation accuracy, low-cost method valuation, rights and obligations, notes disclosure
Theoretical verification through inventory quantity and unit price
Due diligence: actual investigation, judged to be at high risk of material misrepresentation
Due diligence: observation, judged to have low risk of material misrepresentation
In principle, due diligence is carried out
For inventories stored by a third party, request for inquiry by sending an inventory inquiry form stored in a third party. Through this, the reality is identified, and if there is any doubt about the integrity and fairness of the third party, the third party will directly attend the inventory due diligence or have another auditor to attend.
