Script:
We verify the computer′s count with a physical inventory every year in January. It′s a tedious process, but it′s crucial to keeping our records straight. Even the physical counting leaves us with some discrepancies, but we feel that it more closely reflects our numbers. The physical count also puts us two steps closer to figuring out any huge discrepancies. Remember, in the long run any discrepancy is a liability. So, although we have to close everything down and stop running the business for the three days that it takes to complete the inventory, it is well worth the effort that it takes.
