This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Ito report announced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in August 2014, it was pointed out that the issues of Japanese companies are not in asset turnover rates and financial leverage, but in terms of their ability to make earnings, compared to western companies. However, I believe that both accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover are generally lower than those in Europe and the United States, among asset turnover rates, which is an issue for CCC (Cash Conversion Cycle) management. Inventory is an important management resource. Inventory is said to be a source of profit for business, at the same time, to cause loss. Especially in manufacturing, retail and wholesale business, management indicators are used to measure whether product inventory is being converted into sales efficiently. In general, the following two are used. 1. Inventory turnover rate Inventory turnover (times) = sales · cost of sales (annual) ÷ inventory amount The inventory turnover rate is mainly used by executives for presentations for investors or shareholders. 2. Inventory turnover period Inventory turnover period = inventory amount ÷ sales or cost of sales (monthly or daily) In fast-rotating industries such as foods, the daily sales are used for denominator and "days of stock days" is indicated. The inventory rotation period is practically used well. Annual average and month end stock are used for inventory, but the actual value for sales period / cost of sales is used for that period. It is enough to explain the past and current situation of inventory, but I think that it is inappropriate as an indicator for future decision-making internally. In other words, it is not inventory turnover as management accounting. I am convinced that inventory turnover days are an indicator that can assist decision-making to be shared by management, sales department in charge of operations, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics personnel as inventory-based management consultant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management accounting that creates change resilience and enhances financial strength and profitability It has been one year and three months since WHO recognized the new coronavirus as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The infection of the new coronavirus has spread all over the world, and the social and economic conditions of the globalized world have been severely damaged, and its vulnerabilities have been highlighted. - Deterioration of break-even point due to decrease in sales - Expanding the gap between management and on-site awareness due to the impact of COVID-19 - Increasing number of internal frauds, fraudulent accounting of overseas subsidiaries, and inadequate internal control - Roadmap, goal setting and concrete measures for the realization of a carbon-free society Under these circumstances, what is most needed is the ability to respond to change by making use of hypotheses and verifications, in addition to the wisdom accumulated in the past, such as failure experiences and success experiences. In order to build a corporate structure that responds to change, it is necessary to manage change points by narrowing the pitch rather than managing goals. To that end, it is urgent to align the common operation cycle weekly, chain conventional management indicators (financial indicators and non-financial indicators), and manage the cockpit with the idea of the Balanced Scorecard. As an inventory-centric management consultant, I advocate management accounting that can be used as an immediate force by connecting the management team and the field. In particular, as an evangelist of CCC (cash conversion cycle) and IFC (inventory freshness management) based on the latest case studies of more than 100 Japanese, American and European companies, we explain to executives, business managers, practitioners and students in an easy-to-understand manner in this book. In addition to the decarbonized society, this book also mentions food issues, marine plastic issues, and clothing disposal issues as non-financial information.

Book excerpt: Cash is King Since the unprecedented financial crisis Lehman shock that occurred on 15th September 2008, the values of corporate management have been significantly changed from the profit and loss statement (P/L) to the balance sheet (B/S) and the cash flow (C/F). In order to cope with the increasing surplus bankruptcy and accounting fraud, strengthening cash management is an urgent issue. CCC (cash conversion cycle, cashing speed) is prevalent in Europe and the US, but in Japan it is not yet popular except some companies. Rather than handling CCC as a simple financial indicator, we need to know what kind of practical knowledge is necessary to create corporate value, as relation to other management indicators as management accounting, and to connect CCC effectively to improvement activities. In addition, this book will explain about the problems in Japanese commercial practice and accounting system while comparing the latest CCC data between Japan and the US. Chapter 1 Now, why cash management is paying attention? (1) Profit is an opinion, Cash is a fact (2) Increasing surplus bankruptcy (3) Increasing Accounting Fraud Chapter 2 Management Accounting and Financial Accounting Chapter 3 CCC positioning and comparison between Japan and the United States Chapter 4 Measures to Improve CCC Chapter 5 Management Methods, Promotion Structure and Required System Requirements and its usage Chapter 6 Key issues in Japanese commercial practices and accounting system (1) Month-end closing and next month-end payment (2) Monthly accounting system Chapter 1 Now, why cash management is paying attention?

This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cash is King After the unprecedented financial crisis Lehman shock on September 15, 2008 and the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, WHO has announced the new coronavirus was equivalent to a pandemic (a global epidemic) on March 11, 2020. The era of VUCA (since the 2010s) VUCA is an acronym made from Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity, and represents the modern chaotic economic environment. In other words, it means "unpredictable state". In addition, global warming and environmental issues are the most important and urgent issues for ESG and SDSs. Under these circumstances, what is most needed is the ability to respond to change by making use of the wisdom from past failed experiences and successful experiences. In order to build a corporate structure that can respond to changes, it is necessary to manage the points of change with a narrower pitch than target management. To that end, it is an urgent task to align common operation cycles on a weekly basis, chain conventional management indicators (financial indicators and non-financial indicators), and carry out cockpit management with the idea of a balanced scorecard. This book explains CCC by comparing it with Japan, the US, and Europe using the latest 3 yeras (12 quarters) financial results figures (end of March 2020) that can be grasped at the time of publication. This is a must-have book for business owners as a guide to improving asset efficiency. Chapter 1 Now, why cash management is paying attention?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition focuses on three crucial areas of retail supply chain management: (1) empirical studies of retail supply chain practices, (2) assortment and inventory planning and (3) integrating price optimization into retail supply chain decisions. The book has been fully updated, expanding on the distinguishing features of the original, while offering three new chapters on recent topics which reflect areas of great interest and relevance to the academic and professional communities alike - inventory management in the presence of data inaccuracies, retail workforce management, and fast fashion retail strategies. The innovations, lessons for practice, and new technological solutions for managing retail supply chains are important not just in retailing, but offer crucial insights and strategies for the ultimate effective management of supply chains in other industries as well. The retail industry has emerged as a fascinating choice for researchers in the field of supply chain management. It presents a vast array of stimulating challenges that have long provided the context of much of the research in the area of operations research and inventory management. However, in recent years, advances in computing capabilities and information technologies, hyper-competition in the retail industry, emergence of multiple retail formats and distribution channels, an ever increasing trend towards a globally dispersed retail network, and a better understanding of the importance of collaboration in the extended supply chain have led to a surge in academic research on topics in retail supply chain management. Many supply chain innovations (e.g., vendor managed inventory) were first conceived and successfully validated in this industry, and have since been adopted in others. Conversely, many retailers have been quick to adopt cutting edge practices that first originated in other industries. Retail Supply Chain Management: Quantitative Models and Empirical Studies, 2nd Ed. is an attempt to summarize the state of the art in this research, as well as offer a perspective on what new applications may lie ahead.

It combines proven restructuring strategies with rigorous theoretical analysis. This book explains how to set and achieve asset, staffing, sales and profit goals. Topics include diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of problems, the human dynamics that cause a company to thrive or wither, customer service and relationship marketing, customer intelligence systems, new product development, process mapping, continuous process improvement and re-engineering as well as integrating IT into corporate strategy. It is also discussed how to find the resources needed to keep a company alive during restructuring and how to use bankruptcy offensively and defensively. Corporate Restructuring emphasizes execution. All the restructuring theories in the world weigh less than a simple plan, well executed.
