As retail organizations seek to drive revenues through increased sales, they also face bottom-line pressure to maintain margins in the face of intense competition. In this context, the ability to limit inventory shrinkage—due to theft, fraud, or administrative error—becomes critical to minimizing losses and enhancing profitability.

Ongoing retail cash management issues such as procurement card fraud, duplicate payments, missed discounts, and purchase order errors directly affect bottom-line results. Retail organizations need to assurance the effectiveness of internal controls, to identify potential revenue leakage and employee or vendor fraud, and improve business process efficiencies.
