One of my friends, David Bovis, blogs on LinkedIn and on the Lean Accounting Supergroup (http://leanaccounting.ning.com/). Although he is not an accountant, he has recently posted some interesting thoughts on this topic, linking accounting with the…
Measuring Customer Value is an imprecise art and not one that can be reduced to a formula. That, in my view, is a good thing, because it means there is no such thing as a “commodity product”. It gives creative and intelligent people the scope and op…
An Italian student is carrying out some research on the use of Lean Accounting. Help her by completing the short survey questionnaire (in English and Italian) on Survey Monkey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=0g7E0zTzOzwZfJzx6iB5uA_3d_3d%22%…

Nice work Bill. I too am a U2 and Sting fan but since both did their best work before about 1992 neither really counts as modern ! I notice you are on LinedIn too and you may wish to check out the "BMA Lean Accoutning" and "Discover Lean Accounting"…
Your right how could I forget John's lead vocal. Just to many great oldies and we didn't even get to the 80's. Or female vocals like Joan B. or Pat Benatar
Yes, let's gets some young MBA blood into to this tread. I like IRISH bands CORRS and U2.…
A great version of "Money (That's What I want)" is on the "With the Beatles". Anwyay, it's all very well us going back to our golden age in the 1970's (surely 1974 was the best year ever for great music ?); what are modern artists doing in response…
The Beatles "Money"....no maybe you mean the "70's classic rock song...MONEY...by PINK FLOYD"
This is not my cup-of-tea ( I'm an old Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan fan ) but for the good of the tread here you go:
I did like your play on words with the…
Those of you old enough to remember the 1970's, may remember the classic Sex Pistols anthem for the accountancy profession - "Accountancy in the UK":
"I am the aud-it-or.
I am an acc-oun-tist.
Don't know what I want,
But I know how to get it.
I want…
Very interesting post though "Money, Money Money" from ABBA was an easy one ! There's also "Are you coming to the Accountancy Fair" by Simon and Garfunkel, and a Beatles cover called "Money" (I think).
An accountant with music skills ? I like that idea. How about quarterly board reports on tour to music too?
Ok, given I was an accounting and finance student in the 70's who hung out with the marketing department students (more girls) here is the s…

This is a little difficult to explain in text rather than in person, but I will do my best. Let's assume a company runs a traditional standard costing system with a Standard Cost of £27 per piece made up of materials £12, labour £5 and overhead…

Reflections on a Lean Accounting Project
The following discussion is an extract from an article published "Operations Management" magazine in 2008.
A lean accounting project team should contain a mixture of financial people, management accountants, and operational experts. A team of around 12 – 16 people is good and allows effective smaller groups to be formed for specific tasks.
The lean accounting project team we worked with at the Italian manufacturing plant of a major multi-national comprised 12 people, with other experts called… Continue

Songs about Accountancy
Those of you old enough to remember the 1970's, may remember the classic Sex Pistols anthem for the accountancy profession - "Accountancy in the UK":
"I am the aud-it-or.
I am an acc-oun-tist.
Don't know what I want,
But I know how to get it.
I want to control, to budget, to plan.
I wanna be...
accoun-tan-cy-...."
That led me to thinking of other songs about accountancy. There's "Taxman" by the Beatles of course; "Back in the Black" by AC/DC; "Refinancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen; and… Continue
