Is your controllership function out of control?
Article Abstract:
Twelve questions are listed which are meant primarily for the use of chief executive officers, consultants, and chief financial officers, though they can be used for self-testing, in evaluating a company's controllership function. The questions are intended to alert one to situations which could cause financial or operational problems if not corrected. To evaluate the effectiveness of a controller, many areas of responsibility such as decision-making, microcomputer use, and management's needs should be considered. 10
