Accounting Best Practices
About this book
Praise for previous editions of Accounting Best Practices
"For
a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read guide to fixing those all-too-common shortcomings
in your accounting department, look no further than this excellent book. Steve Bragg
provides hundreds of fixes, many of them requiring surprisingly little time or cost
while providing a handy guide to common implementation pitfalls. . . . I would recommend
this invaluable book to anyone who is looking to enhance their existing processes,
whether due to growth in their business, compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, or just as
part of their ongoing improvement process."
—Martyn Webster, CPA, Director
of Finance, XenoPort, Inc.
"This book is critical to running an efficient and
accurate accounting department. The use of RFID technology to track documents is one
of many valuable tools in this latest edition. A required read for the demanding accounting
manager's role."
—Jason Charet, CPA
"I've used Steve Bragg's Accounting
Best Practices books for years as a source of ideas for improvement. Like previous
editions, this edition has a number of new, actionable best practices as well as refinements
of those ideas reported in previous editions. The books are broad enough in their
perspective so that nearly any organization could find ideas that could pay back the
cost of the book many times over."
—John Temmerman, Controller, Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America
"What a great resource! I have been in the accounting
field for over twenty years, and I was still able to gain insight into improving processes
within my office. Thanks for putting it all in one book!"
—Tina M. Thomas,
CPA, CTP, Controller, Goodman & Company, LLP
