Corporate accountants are running teams that have procedures more akin with Charles Dickens that the 21^st century. Whilst many organisations in the USA have been investing in technology and appropriate tools to create a truly paperless office, many of us have watched, as if disinterested or more likely confused. What is appropriate? What should I implement?

The guessing is now over. David Parmenter is back to inform, entertain and push us to accept and embrace technology in all the areas that effect the finance team, accounts payable, reporting, Board reporting, forecasting, intranet, sales reporting, costing systems etc

Far too often the accountants spend all their time and resources implementing yet another GL upgrade or replacement which at best generates little at worst or no decision based information.
