Reporting Practices and Ethics Paper
The four elements of financial management are; planning, controlling, organizing and directing and decision making. Planning is the identifying of the objectives of the organization and revealing the steps required to accomplish the goals that the organization has set forth to conquer. Controlling is making sure that each area and individual of the organization is following the plans that have been established to the very letter. The manager often uses feedback from reports to see where the organization may need attention and to see what area needs attention in order to be affective. Ensuring that each member of the team is doing their part to make sure that the organization is successful. Organizing and directing is deciding how to use the resources of the organization to most effectively carry out the plans that have been arranged and show each member of the organization how to do so effectively. The manager or team leader would get involved on a day to day basis working hands on with the other members to make sure that the organization is running
