Engagement

Inventory observation

Attendance at physical inventory counts with test counts, sheet control, and cut-off checks — standalone or as part of the statutory audit.

When inventory is material to the financial statements, we attend the physical count. Our team performs independent test counts, watches sheet control, and checks receiving and shipping cut-off at the dock.

This engagement can stand alone when another auditor relies on our observation memo, or it can be embedded in Harborline’s statutory audit. Plant hosts should plan a freeze window or a clear log of movements during the count.

Fees start from ¥420,000 per site for a standard single-shift count. Multi-building campuses, cold storage, or night counts are quoted after a short site briefing.
