ACA:
1: Hire employees that will work as record keepers of inventory, separate from the salesgirls who will work on the transactions.

Advantages:
- Lesser possibility of fraud
- Effective control
- Enables updated stock card postings

Disadvantage:
- Human factor causes effectiveness to diminish
- It adds more expenses
- More employees will make it difficult to handle

2: Use a tear-off tag system: Salesladies will detach a paper/stub attached to every item. Each item has a unique code.
Advantages:
- Helps salesladies to keep track of items sold and be able to compare it with their books/records
- It's inexpensive
- It is easy to do/apply
- It is systematic

Disadvantages:
- There is a possibility that stubs will be lost. This disadvantage can be offset by imposing sanctions/penalties to sales personnel who lose them

3: Use computer inventory system/program.
Advantages:

- It is convenient
- It is reliable

Disadvantages:
-Purchase of devices and computers and their maintenance is very costly.
