2. Reconciliation & Site-Based Controls

• Inventory-to-Cash Reconciliation: Perform regular reconciliations between physical warehouse stock movements and financial records to identify and eliminate leakages.

• Bank & Cash Management: Conduct frequent bank reconciliations and oversee petty cash disbursements, ensuring zero variance between system balances and physical cash.

• Internal Control Enforcement: Implement and monitor site-based financial controls to prevent fraud and minimize administrative errors.

3. Compliance, Tax & Audit Support
