Executive Summary
This report is prepared for Mr. Lou, the owner of the $2 superstore located in the
Casey Central shopping center, Narre Warren South, Vic, 3805. Prepared by Lylan
Ranatunga, a Business Analyst working for P.W.C. In this report, we will be introducing
more efficient surveillance measures into the business, as opposed to the current ones in
place. In doing so, the business will run more efficiently and will create more accountability
to the current losses the business seems to be having and in result generate methods to cut
these losses. “Only one in 17 incidents of employee theft and one in five incidents of
shoplifting were reported to the police.” (Taylor. N, 2002) This Australian study shows that
the majority of theft to small businesses goes unhandled mainly due to not having sufficient
evidence, and in result, the business owner must bear the cost of these losses.
Advanced surveillance systems will help Mr. Lou to monitor their store at any time or
trace back to specific times and dates when an incident does occur. Your $2 superstore which
is mainly a $2 but not limited to, have some items for sale upwards of even the $70 mark, and
unknowingly theft of these items can rack up to a substantial amount. “A typical business can
lose up to 5% of its annual revenue to fraud.” (Edwards. R). Through the installation of these
surveillance features, we are aiming to bring down this percentage down frantically, and this
will happen as losses will be accounted for and then dealt with accordingly.
