HOW ORDINARY IS ORDINARY?
An invoice sitting in the authorised tray at a Hotel showed the purchase price for a rather ordinary claret as £172.25 per bottle; our Stock Auditor checked this as it seemed somewhat ‘extraordinary’ and discovered that the price should have been £14.31 per bottle, an overcharge of almost £950, which, if not spotted by us would have been happily paid.

TAKING THE TAKINGS
A part weeks revenue from one stocktaking period to another was spotted by one of our Auditors recently to be substantially different, what was originally shown as one days trading had been ‘split’ between two days meaning that the branch had falsified figures month on month. A detailed investigation found that the revenue had been ‘misappropriated’ by the now ex Manager. Proving that vigilance is a key ingredient of good stocktaking.
