...between staff. This may result in management making poor business decisions because of inaccurate or outdated information. In addition, incorrect or outdated information may be used by employees and passed to customers. • Each office site stores its data on local file servers. This practice makes it difficult to access and or share data across the multiple locations. Business productivity is also sacrificed as a result of the time it takes to e-mail documents between the office locations and await responses. Key stakeholders affected range from middle and upper management to employees collaborating on different tasks. • Simple Gateways experiences frequent, problematic processing delays for administrative tasks while using a paper based system. This may result in confusion for supervisors and employees as to which staff members are out of the office and when. Administrative task processing delays may result in staff taking time off when, in fact, a time off request has not yet been approved thereby creating possible staffing shortages. In addition, pay check inconsistencies and or errors may occur as delayed time off requests are not processed and billed in a timely manner. Any of these scenarios could cause backlog for the HR and or Payroll departments. A2. Discuss the differences between the actual performance and the desired performance of Simple Getaways.

...responsible for them. The responsibility accounting system involves a performance report. This performance report accumulates and reports costs and expenses that a manager is responsible for and their budgeted amounts. Differentiate between various costing systems and various forms of responsibility centers According to MUSE, cost serves two purposes, planning and evaluation.

Multistage process and job order costing systems are similar in assigning labor, material, and manufacturing support activity to products. The two systems are different because with a job order cost system, production requirements vary across different jobs, and are measured for individual jobs, where as in a multistage process, production requirements are the same across jobs. Responsibility centers are identifiable segments within an organization for which individual managers have accepted authority and accountability. These centers define what assets and activities each manager is responsible for. The managers of each center is responsible for ensuring they are managing and maintaining their centers budgets. A tool that is used for reporting is the responsibility report. This report compares the responsibility centers budgeted performance with the actual performance, similar to the variance budget.
