VII. Read the text, give the title for it and answer the question “What are the functions of accounting personnel in the planning process?”

Planning is a management responsibility, not an accounting function. To plan is to decide, and only the manager has the authority to choose the direction the company is to take. Accounting personnel are nevertheless deeply involved in the planning process. First, they administer the budgetary planning system, establishing deadlines1 for the completion of each part of the process and seeing that these deadlines are met. Second, they analyze data and help management at various levels compare the estimated effects or different courses of action. Third, they are responsible for collating the tentative plans2 and proposals coming from the individual departments and divisions and then reviewing them for consistency and feasibility3 sand sometimes for desirability as well. Finally, they must assemble the final plans management has chosen and see that these plans are understood by the operating executives.

NOTES

1. deadlines – конечные сроки

2. collating the tentative plans – тщательное сравнивание пробных планов

3. feasibility - выполнимость
