Verification Standards
Counting
Quantities are verified against expected manifests.
Weight confirmation
Weights are checked and recorded.
Packaging & seal inspection
Packaging integrity and seal numbers are verified.
Visual condition assessment
Condition is documented at the point of inspection.
Documentation review
Supporting documentation is reviewed alongside the physical inspection.
Every field recorded during inspection — counting, weight confirmation, packaging, seal verification, serial or ingot identification, visual condition, and documentation review — becomes part of the permanent audit trail for that asset.
