with Six Sigma

Performance audit is a systematic and objective examination of an organization’s programs, activities, or functions to assess their efficiency, effectiveness, and economy. It focuses on evaluating the performance of an organization in achieving its goals and objectives and identifying areas for improvement.

The goal of a performance audit is to provide evidence-based insights and recommendations that can help organizations enhance their operations, optimize resource allocation, and improve overall performance. It goes beyond traditional financial audits by examining the outcomes and impacts of programs and assessing whether they align with the organization’s strategic objectives.

Lean Six Sigma is a powerful methodology that focuses on process improvement and waste reduction, leading to increased efficiency, improved quality, and enhanced customer satisfaction. At SevenHills CPA, we offer comprehensive Lean Six Sigma services to help organizations streamline their operations and achieve sustainable excellence.

Performance Audit for Inventory & Cost of Sales

A performance audit for inventory and cost of sales is a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s inventory management practices and the accuracy of its cost of sales calculations. This audit focuses on evaluating the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity of inventory controls and processes, as well as the reliability of financial reporting related to inventory and cost of sales. Our procedures involved in an inventory and cost of sales audit include: Cutoff Analysis, Physical Inventory Count, Analytical Procedures, ABC Analysis, Freight Cost Analysis, Finished Goods Cost Analysis, Overhead Analysis, Reconciling Items, and Shipping Invoice Matching.

The primary objectives of a performance audit for inventory and cost of sales are as follows:

Identify Inventory Issues

The audit helps in identifying slow-moving, damaged, and obsolete inventory items that may be tying up valuable resources and affecting profitability.

Fraud and Error Prevention

By conducting an inventory audit, potential fraud and errors in inventory management and reporting can be detected and prevented, ensuring the accuracy of financial statements.

Correct Inventory Status

The audit provides assurance that the reported inventory levels accurately reflect the actual physical inventory on hand, helping organizations make informed decisions regarding stock management.

Accurate Valuation

An inventory audit helps determine the correct value of the inventory by assessing the appropriateness of valuation methods, cost allocations, and accounting treatments.

Gap Identification

The audit assists in identifying gaps in the inventory management system, such as discrepancies in record-keeping, controls, or processes. These gaps can then be addressed to improve overall inventory management efficiency.
