Manufacturing and engineering businesses can be more complex from an accounting perspective than many other businesses as they involve creating new products from scratch. This results in complexities around inventory control and methods of accounting for both direct costs and overheads. Businesses in these sectors require reliable and timely KPI information to make critical business decisions.
The AAB team of experts can assist with advice in relation to accounting systems and processes for these sectors. From an audit perspective our experience in the sector enables us to challenge the numbers and, where appropriate, make recommendations on accounting or system improvements.
