    Which nine letter word means stock that is lost, in the retailing trade, due to damage or pilfering?

    Question #17795. Asked by allbut. (Mar 30 02 8:11 PM)


    Brainy Blonde

    		Since I am a bookkeeper and well trained in accounting, I can tell you the answer in Canada anyway, is shrinkage. It may be different in other countries, but it is the correct term according to GAAP. (Generally accepted accounting principles)

    The M in Jam

    		I work in Finance and have some accountancy training, and can confirm the the term shrinkage is the correct word in the UK.

    		I see Brainy Blonde and M in Jam are no shrinking violets.
