| Abstract: | CPAs don't like to be called bean counters. Yet, like it or not, the term comes uncomfortab;ly close to describing the tasks management accountants have performed historically - counting, comparing, recording and, finally, periodically reporting financial information. Yet how much of this information is really current and useful to management? Can those who run the business use these data to make valid business decisions? In most cases, the answer to both questions is no. This article suggests ways accountants in business and industry can revitalize themselves by providing the right information, in the right way, at the right time, to the right people. |
