Recommendation Report

Vision Centre Date; June 15, 2012 TO: Mr. President From: The Chief Accountant Subject: A Perpetual Inventory Costing System

I am submitting this report detailing my recommendation for improving the productivity of the company, and to cope with every day demands. As we proceed with the opening of a new eyewear department, one needs to have a strong understanding of the current business environment and its needs. In other to explain deeper how we can be the most successful company, this standard report will be my main communication tool. My recommendation is based on my own experience and my interview with other department management. If Vision Center is expected to grow rapidly and increase its level of inventory, a modern solution may be put in place to assist with this daily endeavor. For this reason, I am therefore strongly encouraging you Mr. President to install a new perpetual inventory system.

A perpetual inventory system is a set of accounting processes that helps a company report financial inventory data. Many companies use this system, especially those using a job order cost accounting system, or selling many different types of inventory. Mr. President, a perpetual costing system will be the framework of processes and procedures used to ensure that the company fulfill all tasks required to achieve its objectives. Businesses today are introducing this system which manages all their complex transaction. Although, Vision Center has been successful thus far without having the Perpetual inventory system, however to promote the longevity of the company it would be in the company’s best interest to implement the perpetual inventory costing system.

    The inventory has a financial importance as it is purchased and recorded at its historical cost or original cost. With respect to a perpetual inventory system, inventory accounts are continually controlled as goods are purchased and placed directly into the inventory account and then later taken out when sold. Therefore the inventory is properly recognized within the period it is sold. Furthermore valuing the inventory with FIFO correctly reports the ending inventory at its market value. When ending inventory is reported at market value, before making proper year adjustments unexpected changes occur in the ordinary course of business causing the market to be lower then the cost basis of the inventory. This departure from the cost basis of pricing the inventory requires the utility of inventory is no longer as great as its original cost. The ASC allows assets to be valued with Lower of Cost or Market when evidence is proving the future utility of the inventory drops below its historical cost.…
