Good afternoon PC's and trust our day is going well.

How we can best advice this person so as not to make mistakes or bring issues to his/her job, and it may also help alot of us here

Mr A is a finance Manager (just him alone in the department). Last year the stock keeper resigned and he was not aware (lack of proper communication) and so he was not in picture of what the stock was as at when the store keeper Left.

Early this year stock Audit was carried out and due to improper organization of the materials he the finance manager and auditors only counted what they saw. Fast forward to presently the person that the stock keeper handed over to saw the stock Audit count and saw the difference which started to raise the concern and it was discovered that there was an inflow of about a thousand material.

Now at this point:
1.Who is to be blamed?
2. Who is to be responsible for stock and it's organizing
3. Who follows up now to ensure it's properly done right.
4. It's the function of the finance manager to organize and take the lead role on it or the stock keeper.
Thank you for your anticipated response.

lavylilly:
1. HR should be blamed for not informing the finance mgr that someone who has direct relationship with his dept is leaving, they're to do stock count the person can leave

2. I believe there should be periodic stock count and stock should be valued at the end of every month

3. Finance mgr should seek for more hand in his absence or while attending to some other emergency issues
