Family members, one of whom was delegated to be the office manager and bookkeeper, staffed the company. Although conscientious, the office manager lacked formal accounting training, which became apparent when the growing company was forced in March 20X4 to hire a CPA as controller. Although ostensibly brought in to relieve some of the office manager’s stress, management made it clear to the new controller that they had some concerns about the quality of information they were receiving.

- The CEO of the Baker Inc, wants to implement a new accounting system, to improve work flow through the company’s sales, cash receipts, accounts payable, and cash disbursement procedures. The CEO is, however, concerned about the potential disruption that the implementation will have on operations. In an announcement letter to Baker’s employees, the CEO stated that: “I have contracted Flybynight Consulting Group to do the needs analysis, system selection, and design work. The programming and implementation will be performed in-house using existing IT department staff. The development process will be unobtrusive to user departments because Flybynight knows what needs to be done. They will work independently, in the background, and will not disrupt departmental and internal audit work flow with time consuming interviews, surveys, and questionnaires.

In one initiative, management changed the responsibility-center orientation of its Logistics and Distribution Department from a cost center to a profit center. The department manages the inventories and provides other logistical services to the company’s Business Systems Group. Formerly, the manager of the Logistics and Distribution Department was held accountable for adherence to an operating expense budget. Now the department “sells” its services to the company’s other segments, and the department’s manager is evaluated partially on the basis of the department’s profit. Xerox Corporation’s management feels that the change has been beneficial. The change has resulted in more innovative thinking in the department and has moved decision making down to lower levels in the company.
