How often should a business review its scrap data?

Short answer: Reviewing monthly is usually enough to catch missing dockets and unusual figures while the details are fresh, with a fuller review at the end of each quarter or reporting period to compare against targets and last year, because problems found early are cheap to fix and problems found at audit time are not.
