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
4. Corrective Action
2. Measuring Actual Performance
3. Comparing Performance with Standards
1. Establish 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
• Feed-forward 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).
