  2. Advanced Organizer

  3. Chapter Objective • Describe some of the important elements for establishing financial controls • Explain balance sheets, income statements, ratios. • Explain different non-financial control systems

  4. Definition of “Controlling” • “compelling events to conform to plans” -- Goetz • “Control techniques and actions are intended to insure, as far as possible, that the organization does what management wants it to do.”

  5. Steps in the Control Process 2. Measuring Actual Performance 1. Establish Standards 4. Corrective Action 3. Comparing Performance with Standards Planning Controlling

  6. Steps in the Control Process • Establish Standards • Technical: Quality, Quantity, MTBF • Market: Sales, ROI, Earning Expectation • Planning: Objectives, Schedules, Budgets, Policies • Safety: OSHA • EEO • Historical

  7. Steps in the Control Process • Establish Standards—by Benchmarking • Internal Benchmarking: productivity • External Benchmarking • Financial Ratios • Performance Metrics • Best Practices • Critical Success Factors • Target Pricing • Balanced Scorecard: new products, new projects, patents, new partners, new customers, new technology

  8. Steps in the Control Process • Measuring Actual Performance • Data collection and analysis • Time study, work sampling, performance rating • Comparing Performance with Standards • Establish limits of tolerance • Note variations (deviation within limits) and exceptions (deviation outside limits) • Provide recognition and warning

  9. Steps in the Control Process • Corrective Action • Short-term: Consultants, temporary workers • Long-term: Training, modifying procedures and policies

  10. Closed-Loop vs. Open-Loop Control • Closed-loop control (also known as automatic or cybernetic control) monitors and manages a process by means of a self-regulating system. Open-loop control (or non-cybernetic control) requires an external monitoring system and/or an external agent to complete the control loop.

  11. Timing of Control • Feed-back control • Screening or concurrent control • Feed-forward (or preliminary or steering) control

  12. Timing of Control • Feedback Control (Output) • Measures system output and variance with predetermined standard • Adjusts system to maintain variance within a specified range

  13. Timing of Control • Screening Control (Concurrent) • Control applied concurrently with effort being controlled

  14. Timing of Control • Feedforward Control (Steering or Preliminary) • Attempts to predict the impact of current actions/events • Current decisions are refined to facilitate goal attainment

  15. Characteristics of Effective Control • Effective • Efficient • Timely • Flexible • Understandable • Tailored • Highlight deviations • Lead to corrective action

  16. Types of Control • Financial • Human Resource • Social

  17. Financial Controls Financial statements provide the basic information for the control of cash and credit, which are essential to the survival of a company. • The balance sheet • The income statement • The cash flow statement

  18. Balance Sheet Balance sheet shows the firm's financial position at a particular instant in time (a financial "snapshot.“) Total Assets = Total Liability + Owner’s Equity

  19. Balance Sheet Assets are what the company "owns" • Current assets (assets that can be converted into cash within a year) • Fixed assets (property, plant, and equipment at original cost, less the cumulative depreciation of plant and equipment [but not land] and depletion of natural resources since they were purchased) • Tangibles and Intangibles

  20. Balance Sheet • Liabilities are what the firm "owes" • Current liabilities (must be paid within a year) • Long-term debt • Net worth or Equity • Original investment (what was paid in for common and preferred stock) • Retained earnings (the cumulative profits over the years after dividends are paid).

  30. Ratio Analysis Financial ratios are ratios of two financial numbers taken from the balance sheet and/or the income statement. • compared with average values for the industry the firm is in to evaluate relative financial health, and • compared with earlier values from the same firm to evaluate trends.
