Attached Apple Inc. - this is more of an output of a project. Please help me to make it a project proposal?
Please for the next step, carefully follow the following steps:
It will be informative to locate the management accounting function (if there is one) on an organizational chart of the company. Alternatively, you can show which function had normally coordinated MAS.
• For the data collection, you did not really specify the sources. You can consider face-to-face interviews or using questionnaires. Then, please specify the positions of respondents for this case. Which information would be gathered from these people? Please show me the list of questions you plan to ask them.
• For the budgeting process and procedures, your role is not only to describe the existing practices but also to assess (i.e., offering your opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the existing practices in reference to what you have learned so far as well as support from additional readings).
• For the Management Accounting System, your role is not only to analyse how management accounting information were collected, stored and prepared, but also to analyse how the information is disseminated to various parties. Please discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the accounting software currently used by the company.
• It is not just about identifying the costing system being used (e.g., ABC), but also your evaluation of the system. The strengths and weaknesses of the system should be reflected on in reference to what you have learned and read.
• The capital decision making process is be related to the type and evaluation of investment appraisal techniques currently used by your organization. How then the project performance was measured ex-post implementation?
