All Business Have the Same Goal
Whether an enterprise intends to earn money for owners and stockholders or is a not-for-profit organization, the goal is the same: creating value. One company may be improving workforce conditions while another may be investing in new product development based on customer feedback. Whatever the strategy, the only management accounting textbook that understands and teaches how to use measurement and management systems for value creation is Management Accounting, Fourth Edition, by Anthony A.Atkinson, Robert S.Kaplan, and S.Mark Young.
The workplace has changed and so must the workforce.The creation and measurement of value is what business is about. Filled with practical case studies and examples, here's the roadmap to finance's new job requirements.
