Inventory valuation

« Back to Glossary Index

Set of actions for assigning the most accurate value to a company’s inventory, once its physical existence has been verified through inventory. The lowest value between the market value and the cost should be used. The cost value can be calculated by the FIFO method and the weighted average cost method (both accepted fiscally in Spain), although in times of inflation, it is more conservative to use the LIFO or NIFO method.
