Course Description
In this course, management accounting and performance improvement systems expert, Gary Cokins will discuss how cost modeling has evolved and walk through obstacles and trends in the industry. This course will cover:
- The expansion from product costing to include channel and customer profitability reporting and analysis.
- The integration of managerial accounting with other enterprise and corporate performance management (EPM/CPM) methods (e.g., the balanced scorecard, incentive compensation, risk management, supply chain management)
- The shift from historical reporting to predictive accounting (e.g., marginal / incremental costing; capacity-sensitive driver-based rolling financial forecasts, performance-based and driver-based budgeting, customer lifetime value [CLV] )
- Imbedding analytics into managerial accounting (e.g., correlation and segmentation analysis, recursive partitioning with decision trees)
- Acceptance of two or more co-existing managerial accounting methods
- Chargebacks to internal users and service level agreements of information technology (IT) and shared services.
- Recognition of barriers slowing the adoption rate of advanced managerial accounting (e.g., resistance to change, being held accountable, weak leadership) to gain buy-in.
Learning Objectives
- Identify and differentiate strategic KPIs in a balanced scorecard and operational performance indicators (PIs) in dashboards.
- Discover how to perform “predictive accounting” for capacity-sensitive driver-based budgets / rolling financial forecasts, what-if analysis, and outsourcing decisions.
