Course Description

Inventory, often a company’s largest or second-largest asset has a significant impact on both the balance sheet and the income statement. Easily manipulated, it can be hidden, stolen, or simply forgotten. Effective internal controls keep track of inventory and ensure that its proper value is reflected on the financial statements.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes company executives of publicly traded US companies personally and criminally responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the financial disclosures of their companies. They are required to sign reports that attest to the effectiveness of their companies’ internal controls, including foreign subsidiaries.
