Cost management functions for managerial accountants - Members in Business and Industry Managerial accountants are not necessarily in the best position to engage in cost management, so the decline in traditional accounting functions will not necessarily be offset by increased managerial accounting positions. The users of cost management data are in the best position to gather data relevant to cost management. Financial reports and other accounting data are often ill-suited for cost management functions. The managerial accountants that will become involved in cost management are those that develop expertise in functions, systems, change management and cost strategies.

Using ABM for cost control, capacity management, and control of nonvalue-added activities, provides managers with tools unavailable in conventional responsibility accounting reports which show spending as general ledger line items. ABM can be used during planning to identify nonvalue-added activities and the cost of excess capacity, during the period to develop explicit cost reduction initiatives, and at period-end to provide useful variances to evaluate operations manager performance. ABM begins with activity analysis which focuses managers' attention on nonvalue-added activities and their elimination. In step 2, an understanding of resources needed to support activities focuses attention on capacity management. Unused resources (excess capacity) can be identified and managed. Effectiv...
Quality performance reporting encompasses both accounting and auditing when producing reports that fairly present performance and financial condition while ensuring that these results are systematic and verifiable. Given the intensity of the debate surrounding performance reporting, how much effort would be required for agencies to meet the SEA criteria is questioned. The authors collected and analyzed performance reports from the Web sites of 20 state agencies. They found that quality performance reporting is limited to a few departments scattered across the states, and only one state has consistently good reports in the four state departments they reviewed. In spite of the poor quality of performance reports by state agencies, the authors are optimistic about the evidence they accumul...
The CFO, controller, chief accounting officer and external audit partner will all play roles in helping you get a deeper appreciation of the financial reports your committee is responsible for overseeing. The better the audit committee understands the performance metrics the compensation committee tags to incentive pay, the better the audit committee can monitor the integrity of those metrics- in particular, by focusing on whether the ability to achieve performance targets significantly affects management's financial reporting judgments.
Over the past decade, the accountability of nonprofit organizations has been a concern. Our paper reports one form of accountability, the "A-133" or "single" audit, which is required for nonprofits receiving substantial federal funding. We report on 11,841 audits from 1997 to 1999. Overall, compliance appears to be quite high. Our study indicates that smaller nonprofits, those that are new to government grants, and those with prior audit findings have a significantly higher rate of adverse audit findings. One policy implication of our work might be to provide federal funding specifically for Single Audit Act compliance to these nonprofits.
