Inventory is capitalized on the balance sheet as a current asset. Inventory is increaseed by items purchased (direct materials or finished goods), costs incurred in creating a product (for manufacturers), and an allocation of overhead to the creation of the product. As inventory is sold, the cost of the inventory sold is recorded by reducing inventory (a credit) and increasing Costs of goods sold (a debit).
Procedures of auditing work in progress are listed/ cutoff analysis, observe the physical inventory count, reconcile the inventory count to the general ledger, test high-value items, test error-prone items, test inventory in transit, test item costs, review freight costs, test for lower of cost or market, finished goods cost analysis, direct labor analysis, overhead analysis, work-in-process testing, inventory allowances, inventory ownership, and inventory layers.
Costs that are treated as assets until the product is sold are called product costs. The costs are added to the inventory, and the expense is recognized when the inventory is purchased.
By making the process efficient and accurate.

All of these: Unit purchasing costs, Holding costs, and Ordering and setup costs.

Item (set-up) costs, holding (storage) costs, and shortage costs (demand > product).
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the number of units that a company should add to inventory with each order to minimize the total costs of inventory-such as holding costs, and order costs
1) Less waste 2) Increased customization of the product 3) Lower finished-product inventory costs 4) Better relationship with the customer
The inventory costing method that reflects the cost flow in the reverse order and will report the earliest costs in ending inventory is last in first out. This makes use of a perpetual inventory system.
