Lean Accounting Training

Lean Accounting - a 21st century business management

(in house, 3 days)

This workshop is an ideal introduction to Lean Accounting. Lean Accounting is the term used by accounting of the companies that require control and measurement of the processes to support the management "Lean Thinking". "Lean Thinking" is the approach of the entire company from the only point of view of the customer, developing a slim system for an immediate response to market signals (customers, suppliers and competitors).

Many companies approache Lean practices, but at the accounting level they don’t do much. The accounting of these companies, which is an accounting based on volume and inflexible, is totally non-adapted to the real business. Under these conditions, the business accounting system of planning, monitoring, reporting and adjustment is a non-adapted system. In fact the activities of adjustment in accounting are made often too late, when money have already been lost. But, in real life, managers make operational and tactical decisions without taking into account the traditional accounting reporting system and the usefulness of the management accounting system (cost and budgets) is pretty much hurt. The natural questions arise: "... where is the money from Lean ....?” or "how my cost system behaves  when losses are reduced?" or "how performance is measured after the improvements have been started?". If ithere are eliminated some of that losses what is the amount of money corresponding to it, both at the level of the expenditure and the income level. In most cases, you do not know the answers to these questions, especially at the budgetary variable cost level and at the product indirect cost level.
