Year end inventory count packet Workbook
Organize year end inventory count packet with AE Tax Advisors’ editable workbook, evidence checklist and CSV export. Prepare the records for review.
When to use this workbook
Use this year end inventory count packet workbook to connect count date, count methodology and reconciliation difference before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.
Tie quantities and costs to actual counts, purchase records and ownership terms. Preserve the method and cutoff evidence behind the year-end stock figure.
Review checkpoint: Physical location alone may not identify ownership or the correct period. Document consignment, returns and items in transit rather than burying them in an adjustment.
Record checks for year end inventory count packet
| Record | What to check |
|---|---|
| Count date | Record the actual date or period, then reference the document that establishes it. Keep an intended date separate from a completed event. |
| Count methodology | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |
| Reconciliation difference | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |

Turn the record into a review handoff
For year end inventory count packet, start the handoff with the connection between count date and count methodology. Then identify what reconciliation difference still needs to establish. The exported sheet should make that relationship clear without replacing the original documents.
List the person collecting evidence separately from the professional deciding treatment. A blank field is a request for follow-up, not a zero, an approval or a concluded answer. Keep the supporting documents in your agreed secure record system; this public page accepts no document uploads.
