Every business organization needs to maintain a material inward and outward register. These registers are mandatory to run a successful business. These registers will be kept with security guards, and they record the data whenever the inward and outward transaction happens in the company premises.
These registers should be thoroughly checked each day by the respective authorities.
Not only for materials but they should be maintained for couriers and documents inward and outward.
