One of your friends has opened a new wholesale electronics business and wants your help figuring out some inventory issues they are facing.
One night last week, there seemed to be fewer HD televisions in the warehouse than they expected. The last time they were in the warehouse was
a week earlier, and they hadn't noticed anything amiss.
As they looked around, they saw that the evening warehouse worker was filling the last orders of the day. The delivery driver and day warehouse
worker were gone for the day, and the delivery van keys were on the desk that the warehouse workers shared. The doors to the loading dock were
open, as was the door to the office area where the accountant, two customer service specialists, and the owner worked.
Knowing that you are familiar with accounting principles, they asked for your help in figuring out how to prevent this in the future.
