Résumé

Take Control and Keep Your Company Competitive

The controller's role in corporate America has become increasingly crucial and exceedingly complex. So how can new and established professionals enhance their performance and sustain their company's competitive advantage? With The Controller's Function: The Work of the Managerial Accountant, Second Edition.

In this new edition of The Controller's Function, coauthors Janice Roehl-Anderson and Steven Bragg provide a revised and expanded version of their indispensable operations reference work. Accurate, up-to-date, and relevant, The Controller's Function gives CFOs and managerial accountants a complete overview of the multifaceted job of the controller–from the most basic "bread-and-butter" aspects to the most advanced.

From describing essential competencies–cash management, budgeting, fraud prevention and establishing codes for corporate ethical behavior–to detailing the more sophisticated skills like activity-based and target costing, disaster recovery planning, and outsourcing, The Controller's Function expertly balances both the technical and managerial sides of the job.

You'll quickly access information on how to:

Use electronic spreadsheets for financial analysis
Successfully implement a shared service center
Enhance performance through online inventory systems, quick closing procedures, and selecting adequate accounting software
Avoid insurance pitfalls through proper planning

Filled with numerous real-world examples and checklists, The Controller's Function is the perfect reference for cost-conscious controllers, seasoned financial executives, and savvy managerial accounting professors.
