Guys, I'm facing a funny situation.
A company we're working on the behalf of is reporting its change in inventory in its CoGS, leading to funny (and extremely volatile) values. Typical example? A negative CoGS for a subsidiary.
Can you confirm it should be reported separately on the CFS? I've actually read that it seems to be common practice (the SEC has a guideline for that)... How do you guys handle it? Scrub the numbers?

Negative COGS!! Sounds like a lot of monkey business to me! I have no idea what to tell you but could you give an example with figures. I'm very intrigued.
