The Workshop…
Management accounting, on the other hand, is responsible for providing information (products) and consultation (services) to many internal users. The value that internal users receive from management accounting is the “decision-usefulness” of its products and services. Internal users want management accounting to provide clear insight into both financial and operational performance to make decisions that help the company achieve better results. Management accounting deals with the financial management of the entire company.
In lean companies, internal users’ definition of “useful and understandable information” changes because it has to be aligned with lean thinking to help a lean company achieve better results. In lean accounting, this means management accounting must provide quality products (relevant to lean thinking) and quality services (analysis and recommendations aligned with lean thinking).
In this workshop you will learn:
- how to build and use a lean management accounting system to make relevant information available to decision makers on a timely basis
- why lean organizations need lean management accounting systems
- how to sustain a lean management accounting system with lean financial coaches
