Retail Shrinkage Incident Report Form

An incident documentation form for retail store managers recording each instance of identified shrinkage — whether from customer theft, employee dishonesty, administrative error, or vendor discrepancy. Captures the incident details, items and value affected, how it was discovered, witness information, CCTV reference, actions taken, and the investigation outcome.

Retail shrinkage averages 1–2% of sales globally, and the majority goes unrecorded because individual incidents aren't documented. Without incident reports, patterns can't be identified — the same product disappearing every week, the same shift showing variances, or the same vendor consistently short-delivering. This form turns individual events into actionable loss prevention intelligence.
