Inventory Valuation: Accounting Principles the Auditor Checks

Auditor focuses on whether valuation follows acceptable accounting principles, including:

(1) Assignment of costs
Must use an acceptable method (e.g., FIFO or average cost) and apply it consistently. 

(2) Accounting treatment of problem inventory
Identify and treat properly: obsolete, slow-moving, excess, defective items. 

(3) Lower of cost or NRV
  • Inventory may need to be reduced to replacement cost or NRV (lower of cost or NRV concept).
  • Auditor verifies the basis by observing inventory and making enquiries (management/production/sales).
