Corporate Controller Don Stanton and the accounting staff are very hands-on in helping managers build and manage their budgets.
Managers are regularly armed with useful and informative financial statements.
The accounting process is constantly monitored to produce better and more useful information in a more efficient manner. We are shifting responsibility from traditional accounting to operations people. It gets done right the first time by those who create the transaction, and managers see where the costs are. Information on costs can now be used to analyze performance by activity. Information for managers is available much quicker.
