Specialized publications for professionals Good afternoon, dear readers!
We bring to your attention the article “Inventory”, which, despite its name, discusses in detail various types of inventory, their frequency, procedure and other issues. Pay attention to the new offer from the magazine “Business Practice” - the “Getting Acquainted” program. In the “Practical Accounting” newsletter today there is an exclusive article by Nikolai Pekelnik “Metamorphoses with benefits”. I highly recommend reading it.
Kudinova A.S. Director of AF "Business Audit" Inventory
When conducting an inventory, you should be guided by: 1. Law of the Russian Federation of November 21, 1996 No. 129-FZ “On Accounting”. 2. Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated July 26, 1998 No. 170 “Regulations on accounting and reporting in the Russian Federation.” 3. Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated June 13, 1995 No. 49 “Methodological instructions for inventory of property and financial obligations.” The basic principles regulating the procedure for conducting an inventory are set out in the Methodological Guidelines for Inventorying Property and Financial Liabilities (Appendix to Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated June 13, 1995 No. 49): – all property of the organization is subject to inventory, regardless of its location, and all types of financial obligations; – inventories are subject to inventories and other types of property that do not belong to the organization, but are listed in the accounting records (those in custody, rented, received for processing), as well as property not accounted for for any reason; – inventory of property is carried out according to its location; – an inventory must be carried out before the preparation of annual financial statements (except for property, the inventory of which was carried out no earlier than October 1 of the reporting year; – to carry out an inventory, a permanent inventory commission must be created in the organization, the personal composition of which is approved by the head; – based on the results Inventory statements should be compiled to record the results identified by the inventory. An obligatory component in the formation of accounting policies is the procedure for conducting an inventory of the assets and liabilities of the organization. Inventory is a way of identifying the actual balances of goods and materials and the state of settlements with individuals and legal entities, i.e. e. checking the correspondence of the actual availability of property in kind with accounting data. Inventory ensures the reality of accounting and reporting. It either confirms accounting data, or identifies losses, unaccounted for values, thefts, shortages. The purpose of inventory is: - identifying the actual availability of property ; – comparison of actual availability with accounting data; – checking the completeness of reflection of liabilities in accounting. Reasons for discrepancies between accounting data and the actual availability of inventory items: – natural; – inaccuracies in the acceptance and release of valuables; – errors made in accounting (arithmetic); – theft; - natural disasters; – change of financially responsible persons. According to the Law of the Russian Federation “On Accounting”, the procedure and timing of the inventory are determined by the head of the organization, except for cases when the inventory is mandatory. Carrying out an inventory is mandatory: – when transferring property for rent, redemption, sale, as well as when transforming a state or municipal unitary enterprise; – before preparing annual financial statements; – when changing financially responsible persons; – when facts of theft, abuse or damage to property are revealed; – in cases of natural disaster, fire or other emergencies caused by extreme conditions; – upon registration or liquidation of an organization. Types of inventories: planned (regular) and unscheduled (extraordinary). Unscheduled inventories are carried out in the cases listed above, and scheduled inventories are carried out according to a predetermined plan, at least once a year, before drawing up the annual report until November 1; finished products in warehouse – at least once a year, no earlier than 10/1; materials – at least once a year, no earlier than October 1; petroleum products – at least once a month; cash – at least once a month, etc. Inventory technology depends on the form of ownership. The manager must issue an order appointing a commission to carry out the inventory and indicate the timing of the inventory. Inventory is carried out for each storage location and financially responsible person. Test sites, measuring instruments, etc. are prepared in advance. The following documents are drawn up: 1. Inventory list. 2. Matching statement – is a form of reconciliation with accounting data. The inventory results are documented in a protocol in which all deviations are indicated, i.e. surpluses and shortages. In case of deviations, a written explanation must be obtained from the financially responsible persons. Discrepancies identified during the inventory between the actual availability of property and accounting data are reflected in the accounting accounts in the following order. The surplus is accounted for and the corresponding amount is credited to the financial results of the organization. Dt 10, 12, 01, 40, 41 Kt 80. Shortage of property and its damage within the limits of natural loss norms are attributed to distribution or production costs: Dt 20, 44 Kt 10, 12, 40, 41, and in excess of natural loss norms - to account of the perpetrators. If the perpetrators are not identified or the court refuses to recover damages from them, then losses from the shortage of property and its damage are written off to the financial results of the organization and also to the account of the perpetrators. Inventory of receivables and payables is of great importance. We take into account the statute of limitations - 3 years according to the Civil Code. The act of taking inventory of settlements with debtors and creditors is of great importance. According to the “Regulations on Accounting and Reporting in the Russian Federation,” the amounts of receivables and depositors for which the statute of limitations has expired are written off for each obligation based on the inventory data and the manager’s order and are included in the financial results. It should be remembered that property that does not belong to the company is recorded by it in off-balance sheet accounts. Inventory of off-balance sheet objects is carried out jointly with the owner by the inventory commission. In this case, the inventory list and inventory acts are drawn up in 4 copies (2 for each organization), each of which has the significance of the primary document, i.e. inventory will be carried out by both the tenant and the landlord.
Stages of inventory
Activities for preparing and conducting an inventory 1 A mandatory inventory plan for the year is drawn up 2 At least 10 days before the inventory deadline, an order to conduct an inventory is prepared, which appoints a commission of representatives of the administration and financially responsible persons Attention! The composition of the commission should partially change from year to year 3 From the date of the inventory, all business operations cease (especially in the warehouse) 4 The accountant prints out matching statements (without filling out the column “According to accounting data”) for objects and divisions subject to inventory (at least 2 copies) 5 Prepared matching statements are distributed to all financially responsible persons to fill out the line “actually available” with an indication of the deadline for completion 6 The accountant enters the information received into the inventory list, where the actual state of affairs is compared with the information obtained from accounting documents 7 Discrepancies found are recorded in the draft inventory report, to which is attached an accounting certificate indicating possible areas for writing off identified shortages: theft, as a result of natural disasters, damage during storage, as well as due to the negligence of the perpetrators. A special inventory is drawn up for objects that are not suitable for further use and are not subject to restoration, indicating the time of commissioning and the reasons for unsuitability (damage, complete wear), as well as proposals for sources of write-off of these objects 8 A meeting of the inventory commission is held, at which the results of the inventory are discussed and the final inventory act is approved 9 Based on the approved and signed Members of the act commission make accounting entries to write off identified shortfalls to account 94 “Shortages and losses from damage to valuables.” If a decision is made to recover from the guilty parties, then a corresponding entry is made in the employee’s personal card when deducting from the salary by debiting account 70 “Settlements with personnel for wages” or opening account 73 “Settlements with personnel for other operations” subaccount 73.2 “Settlements for compensation for material damage” when repaid in installments 10 The results of each inventory are filed in the “Inventory” folder and stored for at least 5 years
It should be remembered that the inventory can be carried out both for the organization as a whole and for its divisions, in addition, it can be carried out both by types of property (its own and others, available to the company), and by its debtors and obligations, in other words, we can say that inventory can be carried out for any item of asset and liability on the balance sheet. Despite the procedure for conducting an inventory described in sufficient detail in the Methodological Instructions, in practice there are violations that nullify the results of an inventory, which can be declared invalid. As an example, the following table shows possible violations in the inventory. Inventory errors and their consequences. Violations of mandatory inventory requirements
No. | List of violations | Possible consequences |
1 | The composition of the inventory commission is not approved by the head | There is no reason to carry out an inventory |

4 | During breaks in the work of the commission, access to the premises where the inventory records are stored is not blocked for outsiders | Making corrections that distort inventory results |
5 | If it is impossible to stop business activities, incoming and outgoing documents are not endorsed by the chairman of the inventory commission | It is possible to issue previously unissued incoming and outgoing documents |
6 | Receipts were not taken from financially responsible persons indicating that all receipts and expenditure documents were submitted to the accounting department | If violations are detected, receipt and expenditure documents issued during the inventory period may be presented. |
7 | A comparison is made between accounting data and actual availability, and not vice versa. (It is ideal to compile inventory records manually by hand after the fact) | There is a possibility of distortion of actual data in accordance with accounting data |
8 | The inventory list is compiled in one copy | Inventory results are invalid |
9 | The results must be verified on each page - the number in words, the number of rooms and the amount of material assets, as well as the overall total in physical terms, even if the count was carried out in monetary terms | Possibility of unauthorized corrections |
10 | On each page there is no entry “Prices, results checked” and signature of the financially responsible person | The inventory list is not a document on the basis of which claims can be made against financially responsible persons |
11 | Errors and corrections are not signed or certified by members of the commission | Corrections are considered invalid |
12 | The inventory list after approval of the results contains blank lines. (All of them must be crossed out) | It is possible to enter additional data |
13 | On the last page of the inventory list there is no signature of the financially responsible person stating that he has no claims against the members of the commission and confirmation, as well as that he accepts the property indicated in the inventory for safekeeping | Lack of grounds for filing claims against the financially responsible person when shortages are identified |

Stages of preparation for inventory of fixed assets and intangible assets
1 Complete identification of all objects 2 Documents confirming ownership rights are identified 3 Depreciation rates for each object are clarified 4 The cost of identified, previously unaccounted for objects is taken into account at market prices (with the drawing up of an act) 5 Depreciation on identified objects is calculated by examination according to the actual condition and is documented in an act 6 The correctness of maintaining inventory cards, books, inventories, technical passports, etc. for each object is checked, with corrections and clarifications made 7 The purpose of each object is clarified. Let us recall that it is necessary to divide them into production, non-production and auxiliary in relation to statutory activities. 8 The compliance of types of fixed assets with the codes of the All-Russian Classifier of Fixed Assets is checked. Attention! Depreciation legislation should be monitored, which requires the regrouping of fixed assets. 9 The status and volume of capital work on modernization, reconstruction and liquidation of fixed assets are verified. 10 The results of the revaluation of fixed assets are verified and compared.
Inventory of financial investments
Inventory of financial investments in account 58 “Financial investments” 1 Quarterly inspection of investments in securities and authorized capitals of other organizations (safety of securities, correctness of registration, assessment of their market price, reconciliation of income received from them) Attention!

Inventory of inventory items (material assets)
1 Attention! When taking inventory of materials, an inventory is compiled for each financially responsible person. 2 Since all inventory items (except for goods in transit and goods shipped) are under the control of financially responsible persons, it is necessary to reconcile the date of issue and assignment of inventory items. 3 Checking write-off acts.

Compare the terms of work with the date of receipt and with the date of return or write-off of inventory items 4 Create a separate inventory for inventory items in transit and shipped but unpaid 5 The inventory technique for inventory items involves using the method “from left to right and top to bottom” when recalculating 6 Check acts for write-off of any types of inventory items and acts of capitalization of liquidation balances
Inventory of work in progress
The methodology for checking this section of the balance is determined by production technology. However, the general rules can be presented in the following table. Basic rules for inventory of work in progress 1 When forming an inventory commission, in addition to representatives of the service of the chief technologist, chief engineer and chief mechanic, representatives of the non-production sphere of the enterprise should be included 2 The task of inventory of work in progress is to compare the actual material in the production process with their consumption according to accounting documents 3 Drawing up and analysis of the map of materials released into production by days of the production cycle. Attention! In this way, it is possible to detect irrational spending of the company’s working capital, which, as a rule, is released for the entire production cycle - then the company’s working capital increases unjustifiably or it is released by the day, then downtime may occur due to its shortage. In fact, it is advisable to use a supply scheme based on average options

For example, for goods taken on credit, invoice data is verified with documents received from trading organizations; loans received are checked separately 10 Inventory of account 71 “Settlements with accountable persons” is carried out by reconciling the amounts issued against the report with the data of the submitted advance reports for the period of time from the date of the previous inventory. Attention! Identified discrepancies in favor of the employee must be added to the employee’s total income for income tax purposes.
Inventory of capital investments
1 Inventory of capital construction is carried out by compiling inventory lists indicating the name of the object, the volume of work performed on it and for each individual type of work 2 Inventory of unfinished construction is carried out by compiling inventory lists for the total cost of the object and the structure of capital investments 3 Drawing up special inventory lists for individual cost items according to subaccounts of account 08 “Capital investments”, which do not increase the inventory value of the object 4 Inventory results are recorded in the event of a shortage by simultaneously reducing the total cost of construction in progress and the amount of accounts payable - debit 60 “Settlements with suppliers and contractors” credit 08 “Capital investments” and making adjustments to the inventory for specific objects
Inventory of goods
In trade organizations, inventory is carried out according to the same scheme as analytical accounting of goods: in general for the legal entity and its branches, then for financially responsible persons and, finally, for the range of goods.
1 Inventory of the quantity and cost of goods is carried out by analyzing trade discounts and surcharges on them 2 Reconciliation of warehouse accounting data with general accounting 3 Inventory is carried out for each materially responsible person and for the range of goods 4 Attention!

Inventory procedure
The chairman of the commission must put on all documents on receipts and expenses necessary for the inspection, the notes “before the inventory on a certain date.” This is necessary in order to record information about the remainder of the property before starting the inventory.
The financially responsible employee must write a receipt stating that all primary papers were transferred to the accounting department, all received property was capitalized, and disposed property was written off as expenses. Only after this can an inventory of work in progress be carried out.
The commission begins to calculate the actual availability of property. Information about its quantity is recorded in inventories and acts, drawn up in at least two copies.
The inventory document must be numbered, it must indicate the date of the inventory, the date and number of the order to conduct the inspection. After this, tables are generated for each workshop and the location of work in progress.
After the inspection report is completely completed, it must be signed by all members of the commission, as well as the persons carrying the mat. responsibility.
