Shah Kamal Historical Evolution of Assistant Relationship Manager Management Accounting Bank Alfalah [email protected] Abstract The obsolescence of most companies' cost accounting and management control systems is particularly unfortunate for the global competition of the 1980s (Johnson & Kaplan, 1987). During the past two decades, conventional cost and management accounting practices have been under extensive criticism for their malfunction to instigate change and their inability to support management accounting innovations in coping with the requirements of a changing environment. The academic literature has been crucial of conventional management accounting systems particularly for their lack of efficiency and capability to present comprehensive and the latest information and to assure decision makers and potential users of such information. Focusing on this debate, current study reviews the evolution of cost and management accounting innovations over the past century around the world and to examine whether there has been a significant impact of management accounting in the organization. The analyses suggest that management accounting is changing. However, these changes do not have much bearing upon the type of management accounting techniques.

    What Is Strategic Portfolio Management?

    What is Strategic Portfolio Management? What is a Strategic Portfolio? Who is it aimed at? Successful organisations make strategic choices about Strategic Portfolio Management is the responsibility of which activities should be implemented to deliver their the senior management team, which needs to ensure vision. These choices form the strategic portfolio. that strategy and operations are aligned and integrated. Decisions at this level can significantly impact the success of the organisation. It is equally applicable to the private and public sectors, and can be used across the whole organisation or a part. Everything an organisation does is potentially part of the portfolio, including business-as-usual activities and The Catalyze approach provides visibility and control to transformation initiatives, such as improving customer senior managers, who typically have too little data in services, driving growth or entering a new market. some areas and too much in others. We provide a systematic process, which delivers the focused Strategic Portfolio Management information required to make key strategic trade-offs. Strategic Portfolio Management is about deciding where best to focus the organisation’s finite resources in order to meet strategic objectives, considering the business as a portfolio of activities and making trade- offs across the portfolio. Vitally this includes making those difficult choices of what not to do, unlocking resources to focus on fewer, better activities – those most closely aligned with strategic success. Once the portfolio is focused, attention needs to turn to execution. Monitoring performance with metrics consistent with the strategic objectives ensures that operations and strategy stay aligned. Where does it fit? Programme and Project Management is about ‘doing things right’; Portfolio Management is about ‘doing the right things’.

  • Critical Analysis on Earned Value Management (EVM) Technique in Building Construction

    Critical Analysis on Earned Value Management (EVM) Technique in Building Construction

    Critical Analysis on Earned Value Management (EVM) Technique in Building Construction CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT (EVM) TECHNIQUE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Luis Felipe Cândido1, Luiz Fernando Mählmann Heineck2 José de Paula Barros Neto3 ABSTRACT Earned Value Management (EVM) is a technique of performance measurement focused on project physical, financial and time progress, indicating planned and actual performance, variations of them and forecasts on final project duration and cost. It takes a step further traditional measurement tools like PERT/Cost and C/SCSC. EVM is strongly supported by Project Management Community gather around the Project Management Institute, but recently the technique is being criticized in respect to its conceptual problems and implementation difficulties. This paper aims to explore in greater depth this debate through a case study on a construction project that applied EVM as a planning and control tool. Four major problems are analyzed in the search for an enlarged list of topics the EVM approach fails to support lean construction applications. Among them are the disregard for the mobilization of resources phase and the lack of consideration of construction indirect costs. Finally, the authors concluded that EVM is just an extension of the traditional approach of measuring physical and financial advances over time. This narrow approach is insufficient to provide a comprehensive managerial tool, as became clear through the analyses of the building project under consideration. KEYWORDS EVM (Earned Value Management), Control of Building Projects, Lean Construction and Project Management. INTRODUCTION Uncertainty and complexity typical of constructions projects led building companies to adopt more sophisticated techniques and tools to effectively plan and control building developments.
