Cost of Goods Sold Recheck

Recheck the cost of goods sold against the inventory figures that produce it. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The opening inventory, purchases and closing inventory used for the figure.

How it works

1. Record opening inventory as used.
2. Record purchases and closing inventory as used.
3. Recompute COGS as opening inventory plus purchases minus closing inventory.
4. Return the recheck without changing the model.

The output

company | opening_inventory | purchases | closing_inventory | cogs_recomputed | cogs_quoted | verdict

Worked fictional example

Fictional company had opening inventory of 120, purchases of 430 and closing inventory of 150: recomputed COGS of 400 against a quoted 420, a 20 overstatement.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
