"We called you in because we needed outside advice to design control systems and to analyze the systems that we have in place now. We want a more usable budget.
The most important result is that we now understand our financial information better. Our financial statements report on the responsibilities of our managers. They also combine units of productivity with revenue and cost.
The business certainly should change. You have identified $367,000 savings, which we think is reasonable and attainable."
