Thyme-Accounting, by signing in with her unique password.

warehouse are quick processes.
3. Staff responsible for filling orders can manage their task quickly by
entering through sliding doors and selecting the boxes that they need from the
shelves.
4. These staff members then manually write down which stock they have
taken from the selves on a list kept in the warehouse.

system is updated accordingly.

not been trained to use the system, and prefer not to engage with the system
unless it is absolutely necessary.
7. When staff do need to access the system, they use Mrs Nike’s password to
gain access to and update the necessary records.
8. Inventory counts take place once a year, just before the year-end audit.
9. There are no established procedures for reconciling physical inventory
counts with the inventory records in the system.
10. The company lacks consistency in its inventory valuation methods. This is
due to a disagreement between two of its diretors, Miss Adidas and Mr Puma.
