    The following is a completeness test of inventory in BPP AA Workbook page 290:
    “Compare the gross profit percentage to the previous year or industry data and investigate any unexpected variations.”
    I do not understand the relationship between gross profit percentage and Completeness of inventory. What is the rationale behind this?

    It’s good that you have asked because you definitely need to understand this – there could easily be an OT question which says that GP% has gone up (or down) and which of the options could validly explain the change.

    GP% = Profit/Revenue x100
    Profit = Revenue – cost of goods sold

    Therefore GP% will be overstated/increase is revenue is overstated/increased or cogs is understated/decreased.

    Now you have to remember that cogs = opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory

    Cogs will be overstated (and GP% understated) if closing inventory is understated – i.e. incomplete.
