When asked to explain the reason for this approach the staff indicate that it makes the stocktake go twice as fast and they are hoping to finish early and go down to the pub to watch the cricket.

b) Your client proposes to conduct the stocktake one month before year end and wishes to discuss the impact this will have on your audit.
