What are the best practices for allocating costs and calculating COGS during an audit of a manufacturing company that imports raw materials?

I recently conducted an internal audit for a light manufacturing company that imports raw materials from China and assembles them locally. During the audit, I reviewed the full process: importing on credit, paying customs and transportation fees, warehousing, processing in the machine room, and transferring finished goods to stock or sales orders.

One key challenge I noticed was ensuring that all related costs (freight, customs, warehousing, etc.) were accurately allocated to inventory and reflected properly in the cost of goods sold (COGS).

I would like to know from other professionals:

  • What best practices or methods do you use to allocate such costs?

  • How do you maintain accurate inventory valuation in these cases?

  • What are the most common mistakes to avoid during audits of this nature?
