KENYA · GUIDE 0570 · EDITION 4.2
Small business inventory counting in Kenya
Count physical stock and reconcile differences for owner review.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional stocktake CNT-70 counts fifty stationery SKUs across one shop's shelves and back room after trading closes. Deliverables are location count sheets, a second-count exception list and a physical-count file for owner review. Example entry: pen SKU0012, shelfA2, three sealed packs marked 12 plus five loose pens; physical quantity 41 pieces only if pack contents are verified. The service reports observed quantities, not stock value, audited accounts, theft conclusions or purchasing recommendations.
Who is the first customer?
Small shops and storerooms.
