What is inventory
This term refers to the verification and calculation of fixed assets listed on the balance sheet of the enterprise. In turn, fixed assets include all the property of the company that is used to carry out its activities. In particular, these are: equipment, machinery, instruments, transport, buildings and structures, etc. One of the main features of an object, in order to classify it as a fixed asset, must be the period of its use: at least one year, as well as a certain minimum value threshold (which is established at the legislative level and changes over time).
Reasons for verification actions
The reasons for inventory activities can be very different: upcoming annual reports on accounting and taxes, a change in financially responsible employee, theft, theft, other abuses of the organization’s property, the upcoming transfer of fixed assets to a tenant or a new owner.
In addition, property inspection is carried out during the reorganization of the company and its impending liquidation, as well as in force majeure circumstances (fires, floods, accidents, etc.). Inventory can be carried out both on a voluntary basis and compulsorily, both one-time and regularly, and its duration can vary from several hours to several days. At large enterprises, inventory is carried out separately for each structural unit.

In conclusion, we note that the changes made to the inventory list (form 0403087) and the statement of discrepancies (form 0404092) are related to the provisions of federal standards that came into force on January 1, 2021.

What goals are set and what results can be
Based on the above, it is not difficult to understand the main goals and objectives of this event.
- First of all, this is a certification that all fixed assets credited to the organization’s balance sheet are safe and sound, there are no surpluses or shortages, and that all factual data fully corresponds to what is reflected in the documents.
- Thanks to the inventory, management gets the opportunity to get a real picture of the enterprise’s property, as well as to carry out timely write-off of fixed assets (broken, obsolete or lost).
- This procedure also has a disciplinary nature: knowing about its implementation (especially if it is carried out regularly), materially responsible employees perform their job duties with greater care and reliability, avoiding negligence and deliberate violations.

Inventory procedure
In terms of structure, inventory can be divided into three main stages.
The first stage is preparation, during which a plan is developed, the availability of documentation for fixed assets is checked and its content is examined, and a corresponding order is issued on behalf of the director of the enterprise. By means of the above order, an inventory commission is appointed (it can be permanent), which should include employees from different departments, then the financially responsible employee writes a receipt, and the balances of fixed assets are determined using the accounting data.
The second stage is the inventory itself. Here everything is measured and calculated, an inventory list is drawn up, into which all the material assets actually available in the enterprise are entered. At the same stage, an assessment of previously unaccounted for objects occurs, a description of the degree of their wear and condition.
And finally, the third stage : the final one. During this process, the received information is compared with accounting information, deviations are identified, as well as their causes, and a statement of discrepancies is compiled. At the end, preparations are made for entering all detected discrepancies into accounting.
Form and sample filling

- INV-26 statement of accounting of results identified by inventory
Document format and design
Today, the statement of discrepancies can be made in any form or according to a template that is developed and approved within the company. However, many businesses still prefer to use the previously unified form because it is convenient and includes all the necessary fields, rows and cells. The format of the statement must be fixed in the local regulations of the organization.
The statement is made in two copies identical in content, each of which is certified by the signatures of responsible employees. There is no need to stamp the form.
What form is used to fill out the matching sheet?
The forms of matching statements are given in the Decree of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated August 18, 1998 No. 88, they can be downloaded on our website:
The matching statement form for budgetary institutions in form 0504092 was approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance dated March 30, 2015 No. 52.
Sample statement of discrepancies based on inventory results
- At the beginning of the document, standard data is filled in: date of formation of the statement, name of the organization, name of the structural unit and information about the financially responsible employee.
- Next comes the main part, which is presented in the form of a table. It contains the name of the inventory object, its inventory sign (number), the unit of measurement in the form of a code and its decoding (pieces, liters, meters, etc.), and the accounting account number.
- Then the table contains data regarding the actual results of the event: first, what is the shortfall. Here you write the book value of the object, information about natural losses (quantity and amount), the price at the time of inventory, loss in excess of the established norm of natural loss, the difference between the price on the balance sheet and the market value (plus or minus).
- Then, if surpluses are identified, information about them is entered: their quantity and cost.
- In conclusion, the document must be signed by the materially responsible employee, as well as the accountant.
What is reflected in the statements
Reports No. 18 and 19 include only those items of property for which deviations were identified. If an organization identifies discrepancies regarding property that does not belong to it (for example, leased property; property received for processing), then data on the results of the inspection for such property are reflected in separate forms.
The amounts of surplus and shortage of inventory items in the matching statements are indicated in accordance with their assessment in accounting. At the same time, if the shortage of inventory items is determined taking into account the norms of natural loss, then in this case it is imperative to attach a calculation of losses within the specified norms. The amounts of the final shortage, taking into account the calculation of losses, are reflected in columns 27-32 of INV-19. The loss of inventory within the established norms is determined after offsetting the shortages with surpluses based on re-grading.
When filling out a document on the results of the inventory of intangible assets, columns 3, 8, 10 are not filled in.
The documents are drawn up in 2 copies and signed by the accountant and the financially responsible person, who confirms with his signature that he agrees with the results. One copy remains in the accounting department, the second is transferred to the financially responsible person. The inventory record is kept for at least five years.
It very often happens that during inventory activities, misgrading is revealed - a simultaneous shortage and surplus of similar material assets. In this case, the shortage can be covered by surpluses. This operation is reflected in the matching statement as an offset. To do this, the financially responsible person must provide the commission with an explanation about the misgrading.
If surpluses and shortages arose due to accountant errors, then the difference between the accounting data and the results of inventory measures is reflected in the corresponding columns 12 to 17 of the column “Adjusted by clarifying accounting entries” of the INV-19 report.
When reflecting shortages and surpluses identified during the audit in accounting, one should be guided by the accounting regulations “Correcting Errors in Accounting and Reporting”, PBU 22/2010, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated June 28, 2010 No. 63n.
