Retail Sector Audit

India is the world's fifth largest retail destination. The sector accounts for 10% of India's GDP, making it critical for our economy.

Owing to our professional experience in this space, we can handle assignments at any scale, throughout the country.

A typical retail audit has three major facets:

1. Operations
   • Checking for adherence to SOPs (standard operating procedures) and internal guidelines
   • Identifying gaps in internal controls and recommending improvement measures
   • Identifying redundant processes
   • Identifying areas of loss/leakage, and recommending ways of plugging them
   • Conducting root cause analysis for non-compliances
   • Auditing for statutory compliances (like business licenses)
2. Inventory
   • Plan and execute wall-to-wall stock takings at client locations
   • Plan and execute cycle count takings at the required frequency
   • Conducting root cause analysis for differences between actual and book inventory
   • Recommend improvements in inventory control processes
3. Fixed Assets
   • Tag, count and value all fixed assets
   • Perform periodic fixed asset audit
   • Recommend improvements in standard procedures and internal controls
