Book Description

Traditional accounting systems hold back improvement strategies and process innovation. Maskell's timely book addresses the growing phenomenon confronting managers in continuous improvement environments. It unmasks the shortcomings of the management accountant's traditional role and shows the inadequacy of running a business based on financial reports. According to Maskell, in a world class organization, the management accountant can and should take the lead in establishing performance measures that make a difference. Empowering frontline workers and middle managers to effectively improve their operations is one way to do it.

Accountants HAVE to be integral to Lean transformation!.......2003-02-19

Maskell takes a baseball bat to the Accounting Bee Hive with a call to ACTION for Accounting to become an integral part of the transformation of their business.

Concise, with clear steps to creating an improvement plan, the book is meant to start a dialogue among the Accounting community that will inevitably lead to a fundamental shift in how Accountants see their role in the organization. "Traditional Management Accounting is irrelevant at best," is enough to wake up even the stauchest dyed-in-the-Wool Cost Accountants and start them on a path to looking forward in the organization instead of focusing on past results.

knock your socks of accounting if there is such a thing.......2002-04-06

This is a modern and fresh look at accounting the way it should be. When the universities start teaching this to our future accountants we may once again lead the world at our own game.
