Downloads: 0

This retail store audit template helps branch and store managers assess daily operations and loss prevention. Review cash handling across tills, petty cash, spare floats, and banking preparation, including thresholds and storage in the main safe. Verify vouchers held and reconcile against system records. Evaluate stock controls such as IBT discrepancies, tracking checks, clearance stock controls, PI count compliance, inventory levels, and reasons for stock adjustments in K8. Check process adherence for outstanding purchase and sales orders, negative stock procedures, price marking and promotional POS, staff purchases, and suspended orders. Assess security measures including early or late closing flags, key holder list accuracy, CCTV functionality, and reporting. Capture significant findings and sign-offs to drive corrective actions and compliance.
