The company previous staff did not do the job well and hence the inventory counts on QBO is inaccurate for years. We would really want to update and fix the issues and we have the physical counts. But how should we start without affecting the performance of the company? Will this bring a big loss to the company if we write off a large amount of inventory from our book? How should we start?
