...course work for A437 – Advanced Management Accounting. With this report it is my intention to fully evaluate and assess the merits of my contribution to the class, the lessons taught which I feel I have benefited from the most, the most important lessons to be carried forward in this course to the next group of students, and finally, my desired and my expected grades. Additionally, I will evaluate similar metrics for the small student team to which I was assigned for the duration of the semester. My contributions to the class were both inside of the lecture component of the course as well as outside the classroom in the form of submitted questions for discussion and interaction with my professor and peers. As a diligent student in the lectures I fulfilled my responsibility to fully prepare myself with the assigned readings and materials and answer questions to best of my ability. During the early stages of the semester this was not true; in fact I failed to make any necessary preparations outside of class that might make me a meaningful contributor to my own learning process or any of my peers’. Thankfully, Professor Campbell took near immediate notice of my lackadaisical approach to his class and began to correspond with me inside and outside of the classroom. After a few brief conversations, it became very clear to me that I needed to put forth a significant amount of effort to succeed and ultimately learn anything in Advanced Managerial Accounting. This was obviously to my...

...of years, it has experienced a tremendous increase in its business. However, its financial performance has not kept pace with its growth. The current system, which is partly manual and partly automated, doesn’t track accounts receivables sufficiently, and the company is finding it difficult to determine the reasons why the receivables are so high. The company runs frequent specials to attract customers but has no idea whether these efforts are profitable or if the benefit—if there is one—comes from associated sales. Especially for You Jewelers wants to increase repeat sales to its existing customers; thus, it needs to develop a customer database. It also wants to install a new direct sales and accounting system to help solve the outlined problems. The new direct sales and accounting system for Especially for You Jewelers will be an important element in the growth and success of the jewelry company. The direct sales portion must track every sale, be able to link to the inventory system for cost data, and provide a daily profit and loss report. The customer database must be able to produce purchase histories to assist management in preparing special mailings and special sales to existing customers. Detailed credit balances and aged accounts for each customer would help to solve the problem with the high balance of accounts receivables. Special notice letters and credit history reports would help management reduce accounts receivable. Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in...
