Lean Accounting

A new way of handling financial information in the philosophy of value-added production.

Description of the course

Companies are transforming and implementing improvement initiatives and programmes(Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen). But management information struggles to reflect the results obtained. Produced by support sectors such as the finance department, it even tends to show that improvement initiatives do not generate the expected savings.

Lean Accounting compiles, transforms and produces relevant management information that reflects the Lean philosophy and value-added production. It enables proper assessment of improvement efforts and more informed decision-making. And it produces cost and profit information that is accurate, easy to understand and useful for operations.

In addition to providing an adequate account of the Lean strategy, Lean Accounting reduces the effort of the accounting department by letting them focus on their core business. It also helps to reduce waste, free up capacity, speed up processes and reduce errors.
