This article provides an in-depth exploration of the theoretical foundations of inventory accounting, focusing on key concepts, principles, and inventory valuation methods. Inventory accounting plays a crucial role in financial management, requiring systematic recording, tracking, and valuation of inventory assets. The article highlights the significance of accurate inventory accounting for financial statements, inventory control, compliance with accounting standards, and strategic decision-making. A comprehensive review of relevant literature and theoretical frameworks is conducted, including accounting standards, cost flow assumptions, inventory control models, financial reporting considerations, and strategic considerations. The chosen theoretical foundations are explained to establish a solid theoretical basis for inventory accounting practices. Additionally, key concepts and principles are identified, including inventory, inventory valuation methods (such as FIFO, LIFO, weighted average cost, and specific identification), cost of goods sold (COGS), inventory costing methods, the Lower of Cost or Market (LCM) rule, and inventory disclosures. Understanding these concepts and principles is vital for implementing sound inventory accounting practices and optimizing inventory management processes. By providing a comprehensive overview of the theoretical foundations, this article serves as a valuable resource for professionals, accountants, students, and researchers interested in inventory accounting and financial reporting.
