If you are not careful, your year-end accounts can take on a life of its own. Led by the auditors, who delay the audit to fit into their work schedule, giving them the luxury of hindsight. The delay encourages the accounting team to process adjustment after adjustment only to find the accounts have gone full circle with the year-end audited accounts within 5 percent of the starting numbers. This working guide covers the need for change, how to get the year-end organized, the technology to adopt, the steps to minimize the stress, and how to control all the data coming in from different sources. The working guide contains 20 pages designed to help readers to implement quick wins that will save their team time. The working guide comes with some electronic media, eg: templates, and checklists to assist in a swift implementation. I have spent around US$20,000 researching, writing and testing these working guides. I guarantee, if you purchase, read, and act you will save many times the cost of this guide.
