Course Description

The controller plays a unique role regarding inventory, fixed assets, accounts payable, and equity management systems. The skills required for each of these departments are disparate, but they have one thing in common: success in each area depends on accurate, detailed systems of record keeping. In Controller’s Role in Assets, Liabilities, and Equity, Steven Bragg breaks down each department, detailing the management strategies and techniques necessary to help you succeed. You’ll gain insight and systemic knowledge on inventory valuation, fixed asset controls, controls and processes to assist accounts payable, and accounting for various components of equity.

This course covers material also contained in The New Controller Guidebook.
