Stock Audit Services

Independent stock audit and inventory verification for banks, NBFCs and businesses across Goa — confirming that stock genuinely exists, is correctly valued, and properly supports the drawing power on your working-capital limits.

Overview

Assurance that your stock is real.

A stock audit is an independent physical check of inventory and its valuation against your books and the stock statements submitted to your bank. For lenders, it protects the security behind working-capital finance; for businesses, it surfaces shrinkage, dead stock and valuation errors before they hurt the bottom line.

Frequently asked questions

Stock audit, answered.

What is a stock audit?

An independent physical verification of a business's inventory and its valuation, compared against the books and stock statements. It assures lenders and management that stock exists, is correctly valued and supports the finance extended against it.

Why do banks require a stock audit?

When banks lend against stock through cash-credit or working-capital limits, they require periodic stock audits to confirm drawing power, detect diversion or over-valuation, and protect the security. Most banks mandate it above a certain exposure.

How often should a stock audit be conducted?

Banks typically require it annually or half-yearly by exposure and risk, while businesses may run internal stock audits quarterly or at year-end. We tailor frequency to your lender and operations.

What does a stock audit report contain?

Physical quantity and valuation, comparison with book and stock-statement figures, drawing-power calculation, slow/obsolete/dead-stock identification, storage and insurance observations, and recommendations.

Who needs a stock audit?

Manufacturers, traders, retailers, distributors, hotels and any business carrying significant inventory — especially those with bank funding against stock. Banks and NBFCs also engage auditors to verify borrower stock.

What is drawing power in a stock audit?

The maximum a borrower can draw against working-capital limits, based on eligible stock and receivables after the bank's margins. A stock audit verifies the declared drawing power is genuine and supported by physical stock.

What records are needed for a stock audit?

Stock registers, purchase and sales records, stock statements submitted to the bank, valuation details, insurance policies, GST returns and latest financials. We share a checklist before the visit.
