Beans Beans BeanMy company switched over to new fancy schmany accounting system, an ERM, which allows a tighter control over project spends and greater oversight on projects and overall overhead spend. The system is suppose to make it much better for analysis.
There has been a lot of pain, switching gears with regards to implementing the new system. [...]

I’m back at work, after experiencing the whirlwind that is the NYE celebration period. On NYE went to Cat F’s place, for her “Ballgowns & Pajamas Party” and met up with the usual miscreants from the “community” which I tend to like a fair bit.

Well, another monthend has come and gone and there were more hijinx which amused, maddened me and caused me to scratch my head in confusion.
If, dearest mushrooms, you stretch your neurons back a few posts ago I mentioned that one of my co-workers has a bit of a problem distinguishing between Expense Costs and Asset [...]

Today was slightly amusing, and it wasn’t due to my assistant’s hijinx.
To make it clear for my mushrooms I am responsible for the Accounts Payable processing for “non-production” vendors. As I work at an advertising company there are vendors who do work which are specific to particular advertising campaigns so they charged to job numbers [...]

The fun never stops.
My assistant prepared a “Scheduled Payments” list, for me to review and indicate whether or not I agreed with paying a particular vendor. On the list I had indicated that she was going to double pay a particular vendor and to back it out. She either ignored or didn’t pay attention to [...]

I’m in the middle of monthend. For those of you not of an accounting bent this means I am in the process of closing the fiscal month by analysing costs and reallocating or accruing costs to accurately reflect the fiscal activities of the company for the month of August.
My assistant is sitting on 10 invoices [...]
