When answering this question, it's important to demonstrate your systematic approach to identifying and resolving discrepancies. Start by explaining the steps you take to verify the discrepancy, such as recounting the inventory, checking for data entry errors, and reviewing transaction records. Provide an example of a time when you found a discrepancy, how you investigated it, and the actions you took to resolve it. Highlight any tools or software you use to track inventory and ensure accuracy. Emphasize the importance of maintaining accurate records and how you communicate with other departments to prevent future discrepancies.
Example: "When I find a discrepancy during an inventory check, I first recount the items to ensure it's not a counting error. If the discrepancy persists, I review recent transaction records and check for any data entry mistakes. For instance, I once found a discrepancy in our warehouse where the recorded inventory was higher than the physical count. After investigating, I discovered that some items were misplaced in the wrong location. I corrected the records and implemented a new labeling system to prevent similar issues in the future. Additionally, I regularly communicate with the purchasing and sales departments to ensure all inventory movements are accurately recorded."
