FY2024 ラジオビジネス英語Lesson（２２）

Skit

Thank you for sending us your financials.
You've provided us with the overall numbers, but we do need the details as well.
Is there any reason you've omitted the details surrounding current assets on the balance sheet?

Well, if I'm honest, our inventory isn't adding up.
The logistics team is reporting a loss of several dozen batteries in Warehouse 8.
We're checking for damage reports but there aren't any.

Didn't you check your stock at the end of the third quarter?

Of course, we did.
At that time, the stock was still there.

This could develop into a problem.
Our inventory must be disposed of by a certified entity under the correct procedures.
If we can't prove that it was, we may be at risk of losing our ISO certification.

Upgrade your communication skills

It's not my fault that the batteries are missing.
I've been fulfilling my responsibilities, so why blame me?

Don't take it personally.
I'm not blaming you.
However, this is something that happened within your company, and the impact could ripple throughout the entire group.

There's nothing with you personally.
I just wanted you to be aware that there could be serious consequences for the group as a whole.
