Question
How Often Should Physical Stock Audits Really Be Done?
Many teams still rely on annual stock audits, but with growing compliance and accuracy demands, that approach is increasingly risky. Inventory systems track transactions — inventory audits confirm physical existence and accuracy.
Audit frequency should be driven by inventory risk, not habit. High-value or regulated items may need weekly checks, while low-risk stock might be verified monthly or quarterly. Infrequent audits often allow stock discrepancies to build up unnoticed.
More organizations are now combining cycle counting with full audits to maintain audit-ready inventory year-round. Digital audit tools like Stockount support this by enabling faster verification, traceable audit records, and quicker reconciliation.
Discussion:
How often do you audit physical stock today? Has cycle counting or digital inventory auditing improved accuracy without disrupting operations?
