Taking inventory

Question
What does it mean to "take an inventory?" 
Answer
Taking an inventory is the physical counting and subsequent detailed accounting of the stock that makes up the actual inventory on-hand.

Taking an accurate inventory is a critical annual (if not more often) exercise in the successful financial management of your business. Far too many businesses have failed by disregarding this essential management activity.
