  • Inventory and merchandising checks: prompt receipts and transfers, high-shrink items, reviewed counts, damaged or expired stock and price labels
  • People and compliance checks: staffing and time records, policies and emergency procedures, logged complaints and incidents, and physical security
  • Risk prompts on control bypass, one-person control of an outcome and exceptions that have become normal practice
