Description
The purpose of management accounting is to support decision-making and performance management in an organisation.
As accountants, therefore, we must have a wide range of tools and techniques that we can use to support the needs of our organisations. Throughput Accounting and Lean Accounting are both examples of flow accounting that provide tools for process-orientated organisations.
Throughput Accounting is designed to support management accounting in organisations that are implementing the tenets of the Theory of Constraints.
Lean Accounting, like Throughput Accounting, focusses on improving the flow of work through a business process and provides a variety of flexible tools to measure, manage and improve performance.
