  1. Controlling Preview Steps in the Control Process Three types of Control Characteristics of Effective Control Systems Financial Controls a. Financial Ratios used in Ratio Analysis b. Financial and Operating Budgets c. Nature of Budgeting Process Other nonfinancial Controls Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  2. 2. Measuring Actual Performance • Establishing • Standards 4. Corrective Action 3. Comparing Performance with Standards Planning Controlling Controlling Definition of Controlling Compelling Events to Conform to Plans Steps of Controlling Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  3. Example; Machining process fails to maintain a specific tolerance Controlling Closed-Loop versus Open-Loop Control Closed-Loop: Automatic Control which monitors and manages a process by means of a self-regulating system Open-Loop: Requires an external monitoring system In Engineering Management, last step in control usually requires Human judgment The machining problem (fixing) Operator is not skilled enough (training) Tolerance cannot be achieved for that material Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  4. Controlling Three Perspectives on the Timing of Control Feedback Control: Thermostat example Screening or concurrent control: Step-by-step control Feedforward (or preliminary or steering control): Predict the impact of current actions or events on future outcomes and adjust the current decisions to meet the future goals Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  5. Controlling Characteristics of Effective Control Systems Effective: Measure what needs to measured and controlled Efficient: Economical and worth their cost Timely: Enough time for corrective action Flexible: should be adjustable to changing conditions Understandable: should be easy to understand Tailored: Deliver the information according to each level of manager Highlight Deviations: Flag parameters deviating from planned values Lead to corrective action: should incorporate means of corrective actions Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  6. Controlling Delegation and Control In human aspects of organizing, we have seen delegating the authority. Delegation requires effective control systems. You have to apply the rules for making the controls more effective after delegating the authority. Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  7. Controlling Financial Controls Provide basic information for the control of cash and credit which are essential for company survival. There are 3 major types of financial statements: 1. Balance Sheet: Company’s financial position at a particular instant in time 2. Income statement: Financial performance of the firm over a period of time. 3. Cash Flow: Statement showing where funds come from Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  8. Controlling Balance Sheet (EXAMPLE: Company X, December 2002) What company Owns What company Owes Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  9. Controlling Statement ofIncome and Retained Earnings (EXAMPLE: Company X, End of 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  10. Liquidity Ratios Current Ratio Current Assets Current Liabilities 1400000 450000 = 3,11 Measure the ability to meet short-term obligations. As minimum 2.0 is used but it varies. A current ratio of 10 shows assets are not using efficiently. Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  11. Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Liquidity Ratios Acid Test Ratio Current Assets-Inventory Current Liabilities 1400000-700000 450000 = 1,56 For quickly converting to cash we calculate this ratio. It is difficult to convert inventories to cash, Therefore, inventory is extracted. Over 1.0 is OK. Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  12. Leverage Ratios Debt-to-assets ratio Total Debt Total Assets 1450000 4400000 = 0,33 Relative importance of stockholders and outside creditors as a source of enterprise’s capital. Rate is dependent on the industry. Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  13. Activity Ratios Inventory Turnover Cost of Goods Sold Inventory 2000000 700000 = 2,86 Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  14. Activity Ratios Accounts Receivable Turnover Net Sales Accounts Receivable 4000000 400000 = 10 Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  15. Activity Ratios Asset Turnover Net Sales Total Assets 4000000 4400000 = 0,91 Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  16. Profitability Ratios Profit Margin Net Income Net Sales 1050000 4000000 = 26,3% Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  17. Profitability Ratios Return on Total Assets Net Income Total Assets 1050000 4400000 = 23,8% Controlling Financial Ratios (EXAMPLE: Company X, 2002) Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  18. Budgets Plans for the future allocation and use of resources over a fixed period of time. Financial Budgets Planning of cash for the coming period and how the company intends to use it. Controlling Three Types of Financial Budgets 1.Cash Budgets: Estimate future revenues and expenditure and their timing during budgeting period 2.Capital Expenditure Budgets: Describes future investments in plant and equipment 3.Balance Sheet Budget: Uses the first two estimates to predict what balance sheet look like at the end of budgeting period Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  19. Budgets Plans for the future allocation and use of resources over a fixed period of time. There are responsibility centers in organizations. Controlling Cost Center: Primary financial concern is control of costs Revenue Center (Sales or Marketing): The manager has revenue targets to meet Profit Centers: For manipulating costs to increase profit. Operating budgets can be created like expense budget, revenue budget and profit budget. Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  20. Budgeting Process Budgets can be prepared by a central group and imposed on everyone by top management (top-down approach). This does not take the advantage of information from lower management. Controlling Alternatively, budgets can be prepared in responsibility centers. They tend to be inflated and doesn’t consider upper management goals and objectives. Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  21. Audits of Financial Data Audits are investigations of an organization’s activities to verify their correctness and identify any need for improvement. Controlling External Audits: required at least once a year for publicly held organization by independent companies Internal Auditing Staff: They spend their times in auditing several units of organization Assoc.Prof.Dr.B.G.Çetiner

  22. Controlling Non-financial Controls Human Resource Control: Seen in Human Aspects of organizing (Chapter 6) Management Audit: By answering some questions about management such as planning, organizing and staffing, directing, control, resource planning and control Human Resource Accounting: Investments in acquiring people and in extensive training Social Control: Building an organizational culture and controlling.
