Evaluate store security and operational controls with a structured audit covering front of store, goods receiving, staff facilities, office, warehouse and shop floor. Verify CCTV, EAS, mirrors, keys, safes, banking, till procedures and high value displays. Assess stock management, housekeeping, opening and closing, and risk assessment. Record crime statistics, local demographics and housing context. Identify bulk theft risk, vulnerable ranges and compliance gaps, then capture manager and auditor sign off and the audit date.
