    Re:getting started on unit 10

    As I worked in a small office and didn't know what to write about, I was advised to do the background information about my workplace first, this was the bulk of my project. I then wrote about the Finance Dept and how things are done and that prompted me to find some weaknesses that could be improved on. With some very good guidance from my tutor, it did seem to flow pretty much when I had done these things.
    Good Luck! :)

    I think there was another similar thread to this earlier in the week. Have a look under the student resource centre on this site. They have some information on this unit.

    Kind regards

    Re:getting started on unit 10

    Hiya,

    Does anyone have any ideas for doing a project based on Management accounts?

    I currently work as an assistant management accountant, helping produce month end accounts & capitalising assets & disposing of assets.... but am not sure if I can do a project based on any of these areas, as I don't seem to see what kind of things I can 'investigate'. It seems that a lot of people do there projects on Purchases/Sales Ledgers............but I don't works in accounts payable/receivables.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Are you responsible for endorsing the purchase of assets? Do you have an asset register to record acquisitions and disposals? Is it updated regularly to reconcile what you should have with what you actually have? Who has the responsibility for authorising petty cash payments and reconciling them at month end?

    You may not work in a ledger role, but you could still employ ratio analysis techniques to have a look at the inventories/receivables/payables figures and if they're poor, maybe make recommendations to improve cashflow from a credit control perspective?

    Regards,

    Robert

    Thanks for your reply Robert. Much appreciated.

    I have now decided I am going to do it on the Capital Expenditure Authorisation process. If am able to anyway.
