Having stock valued
An inventory appraisal provides insight into the current market value of inventory. An inventory audit, on the other hand, offers a more comprehensive picture. It involves an in-depth analysis of the entire supply chain, inventory management, administrative processes, operational risks, and strategic implications. The valuation is not the goal here, but the outcome of this thorough research process.
NTAB conducts such audits for clients who need structural insight into the position and quality of inventory. This insight is essential for complex financing issues, restructurings, or acquisitions, and provides the substantiation required by Asset Based Financiers or debt advisors.
In-depth insight into value, risks, and processes
An inventory valuation is often initiated by Asset Based Financiers, debt advisors, or other involved parties seeking a well-founded, complete picture of a company’s equity position. In situations where inventory is designated as collateral, such as in asset-based lending or factoring, a standard appraisal is insufficient.
