New inventory count

Inventory count means the counting of assets (goods in stock) and sources of funding at a given date and the determination of differences from the balance in the books of accounts. An inventory count reconciles the book balances with the actual balances. Differences between the recorded and actual data identified by the inventory count must be reconciled to ensure that the book balances (accounting data) form the basis for the most realistic and therefore the highest quality accounting information.
