Establish traceability from supplier through storage to point of use for procurement accounting and financial control.
Accounting in Procurement and Stores and Financial Control
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run procurement accounting and financial control properly.
Course Overview
Warehouse performance on procurement accounting and financial control is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Inventory tied up in financial control is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this part of procurement and supply operations is rarely technical. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on procurement accounting and financial control and revise it on evidence. What blocks progress on the practice within procurement and supply operations is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is written for people who have to make financial control work with the resources they already have. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for procurement accounting and financial control as they go. The course sets out a working method for financial control that participants can apply the week they return. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of procurement and supply operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
