This is more of a problem in periods when interest rates are increasing, or when the cash flows of a business are subject to a large amount of variation

Why Should You Reconcile Inventory? Businesses may have significant investments in inventory, perhaps covering thousands of items. It is entirely possible that the actual amount you have on hand does not match what is stated in your inventory records - which can be a problem when a customer wants to buy an inventory item that is missing. The best solution is an inventory reconciliation, where you compare your on-hand inventory to your records and adjust the records as necessary.
