...Department Accounting & Control mrinsum@rsm.nl Introduction Financial Management Control Systems (FMCS) form the bridge between the organization’s strategy and its operations. Their purpose is to align managerial behaviour and decision making with organizational goals. Although management controls are typically embedded in the organization’s financial management and accounting systems, their design and use should be based on a thorough understanding of how managerial behaviour is influenced by typical control system elements, such as target setting, performance measurement and rewarding. Indeed, while the proper design of management control systems is paramount for organizational performance, organizational failure can often be attributed to poor design of the organizations management control system. Such poor design may result from a limited understanding of the drivers of managerial behavior in complex organizations. Our challenge thus lies in understanding what are crucial design elements of control systems, what design options are feasible, and how the design and use of control systems should match the organizational context in which they operate. This understanding, rather than the straightforward arithmetic often associated with financial management, forms the core of this course. Course design in a nutshell This course consists of a combination of lectures, articles and cases. The lectures are intended to deal with the theory and concepts that are relevant to accounting and control...

...Appendix A Service Department Costing: An Activity Approach Solutions to Questions A-1 Interdepartmental service costs exist whenever two service departments perform services for each other. Under the step method, the costs of the service department performing the greatest amount of service for the other service departments are allocated first, the costs of the service department performing the next greatest amount of service are allocated next, and so forth through all the service departments. Once a service department’s costs have been allocated, costs are not reallocated back to it under the step method. A-2 Under the direct method, costs are not allocated between service departments. Rather, all service department costs are allocated directly to operating departments. A-3 If a variable base is used to allocate fixed costs, the costs allocated to one department will depend in large part on what is happening in other departments. For example, ineffectiveness in one department will result in it being relieved of allocated costs, and these costs will be shifted onto other departments. As a consequence, the more efficient departments will be penalized. A-4 In many firms, managers of departments have great latitude over the extent to which their departments will utilize the services offered by the firm’s service departments. In order to encourage the use of certain services which otherwise might not be used (such as performance evaluation and internal auditing), the services...
