Inventory plays a critical role in a company’s financial performance, working capital efficiency, and profitability. Yet, many businesses struggle with overstocking, stockouts, inventory misstatements, and poor reconciliation. This directly impacts cash flow, tax reporting, and business operations.
Our Inventory Valuation & Verification Services help businesses gain complete control over their stock whether it’s raw material, work-in-progress, or finished goods. We provide end-to-end support, from physical stock counts to financial valuation in accordance with applicable accounting standards and tax regulations.
We conduct independent, third-party physical verification exercises using systematic techniques like cycle counts, surprise audits, and ABC analysis. This ensures that what’s recorded in your books matches the actual inventory on hand—minimizing risks of fraud, loss, or mismanagement.
On the valuation front, we assess stock values using consistent, standard-compliant methods like FIFO, Weighted Average, or Specific Identification. We ensure that obsolete, damaged, or slow-moving inventory is properly identified and provisioned for resulting in fair, reliable financial statements.
Our services are especially useful before audits, year-end closures, M&A due diligence, or business restructuring. We also offer perpetual inventory system reviews, ERP stock module mapping, and periodic reconciliation services for improved control and transparency.
With our support, organizations can make better procurement decisions, reduce inventory carrying costs, avoid write-downs, and comply with applicable laws. Whether you manage inventory in one location or across multiple warehouses, we deliver scalable solutions tailored to your business.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all auditing. At Pawan Lohia & Associates, every Risk-Based Internal Audit begins with an in-depth understanding of your business model, industry dynamics, and regulatory exposure. Our team collaborates closely with your internal stakeholders to prioritize risk areas, define scope, and execute detailed audits with a strategic lens.
Inventory verification helps ensure that physical stock matches accounting records. It prevents fraud, identifies losses or theft, and strengthens internal controls. Verified inventory is also necessary for accurate financial statements and audit readiness.
Inventory valuation involves calculating the monetary value of all stock using methods like FIFO (First-In-First-Out), Weighted Average, or Net Realizable Value (NRV). We also assess the impact of obsolete or damaged goods and suggest provisioning.
Many companies do it annually during audit season. However, high-volume or high-risk industries (e.g., manufacturing, pharma, retail) may require quarterly or even monthly verification. We help set a frequency based on your risk profile.
Yes. We work with leading ERPs such as SAP, Tally, Oracle, Zoho, and Microsoft Dynamics. Our team ensures that stock data from your system is reconciled with physical counts, and we highlight mismatches clearly for resolution.
