Adopting accounting best practices can improve efficiency and reduce error rates in the accounting department, but less obvious are the benefits gained from better reporting of information to other parts of the company. More accurate data, reported faster, can play an integral role in both short- and long-term strategic planning. Accounting guru Steven Bragg explains how to leverage this and other opportunities in Accounting Best Practices, Fourth Edition. This revised and updated text features numerous new best practices in such critical areas as accounting management, inventory, billing, and payroll. This Fourth Edition highlights the dos and don’ts of best practices implementation, and a new reference system renders the expansive collection of best practices readily accessible. Accounting and financial managers, internal and external auditors, and consultants will find it to be a peerless resource.
