In many businesses, they *do*. They are called stockroom clerks. At
AT&T, for example, every box of pens you got from the stock room had to
be signed for, and if you grabbed too many people would ask why.

Over time this was dropped for items below a certain cost threshold.

So I would say that the asset value is the main thing in deciding what
to audit.
