What is Stock Shrinkage Audit App?

Stock Shrinkage Audit App runs a scored stock shrinkage audit covering stock counts against system records, high-value and high-risk lines security, CCTV, tagging, and EAS function, cash handling and refund controls, and delivery, waste, and markdown records, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, stock shrinkage findings live on paper and in chat. A stock shrinkage fault such as stock counts not reconciled slips through. An audit then means rebuilding stock shrinkage evidence from folders.

Stock Shrinkage Audit App keeps one record per stock shrinkage and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each stock shrinkage finding is tracked to verified closure. Loss prevention and store managers see stock shrinkage completion and overdue actions across the retail portfolio. Every stock shrinkage record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Stock Shrinkage Audit App?

A comprehensive stock shrinkage audit covers the key areas that affect loss prevention and shrinkage control. Audit stock shrinkage with structured counts, root-cause notes, evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for stock counts against system records; high-value and high-risk lines security; and CCTV, tagging, and EAS function, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.

How to Use Stock Shrinkage Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a stock shrinkage audit:

  1. Open the stock shrinkage audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. Score each stock shrinkage against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. Let the app calculate the section and overall stock shrinkage score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. Raise a corrective action for each failed stock shrinkage criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. Sign off the stock shrinkage audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Stock Shrinkage Audit Cover?

A stock shrinkage audit scores condition against stock control and audit procedures and data protection rules for CCTV, checking stock counts against system records, high-value and high-risk lines security, CCTV, tagging, and EAS function, cash handling and refund controls, delivery, waste, and markdown records, and shrinkage trends and investigations. Each stock shrinkage finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the stock shrinkage audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Gets Checked

What Stock Shrinkage Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Stock Shrinkage work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Stock Shrinkage Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Stock Shrinkage Audit App: Assigned contractor signs off the stock shrinkage fix, and nobody checks it

Assigned contractor signs off the stock shrinkage fix, and nobody checks it

A defect on the stock shrinkage is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the stock shrinkage defect is marked closed. Whether the stock shrinkage work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.

Problem

  • Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
  • Poor stock shrinkage fixes are only found at the next inspection
  • No record of which stock shrinkage partners actually perform

Solution

  • Closure photo required before any stock shrinkage action is signed off
  • Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
  • Re-opened stock shrinkage actions linked back to the original finding
Stock Shrinkage Audit App: You find out about a stock shrinkage problem from a complaint

You find out about a stock shrinkage problem from a complaint

There is no live view of stock shrinkage status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the stock shrinkage is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

Problem

  • No live view of stock shrinkage status across sites
  • Stock Shrinkage problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Stock Shrinkage risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of stock shrinkage completion and open issues
  • Stock Shrinkage risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter stock shrinkage results by site and date
Stock Shrinkage Audit App: Every auditor scores the stock shrinkage audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

Every auditor scores the stock shrinkage audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The stock shrinkage audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

Problem

  • Stock Shrinkage scoring depends on which auditor showed up
  • Stock shrinkage sections get skipped with no record
  • Stock Shrinkage scores are not comparable across sites

Solution

  • Weighted stock shrinkage criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory stock shrinkage sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable stock shrinkage scores that roll up across the estate

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Stock Shrinkage Audit App check on a stock shrinkage audit?

Stock Shrinkage Audit App runs a scored stock shrinkage audit against stock control and audit procedures and data protection rules for CCTV, checking stock counts against system records, high-value and high-risk lines security, CCTV, tagging, and EAS function, cash handling and refund controls, and delivery, waste, and markdown records. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for loss prevention and store managers rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.

Which stock shrinkage defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the stock shrinkage failures that matter most: stock counts not reconciled, high-risk lines left unsecured, faulty EAS or CCTV coverage gaps, and weak cash or refund controls. Left unchecked, a fault such as stock counts not reconciled can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so loss prevention and store managers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Stock Shrinkage Audit App support for stock shrinkage work?

Stock Shrinkage Audit App keeps stock shrinkage checks aligned to stock control and audit procedures and data protection rules for CCTV. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, loss prevention and store managers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run stock shrinkage checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Stock Shrinkage Audit App is offline-first: teams complete stock shrinkage checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So loss prevention and store managers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a stock shrinkage audit was completed?

Every completed stock shrinkage audit carries stock count record, eas test note, and shrinkage investigation record, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, loss prevention and store managers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
