CFOs just HATE inventory shrinks because, no matter the cause behind them, the CFO is ultimately responsible for accurate inventory costs. So you have an inventory shrink, and your initial thought – "These products just didn't walk away by themselves – maybe thieves, or even our own employees, pilfered our inventory." While theft may be a component of the shrink, the main causes are more mundane – inaccurate product cost records, incomplete production reporting, and incorrect quality reports are the most likely causes.
