Abstract:
In practice reporting is very often confused with and called controlling. Controllers do very demanding
administrative job and do not have real time for management of costs, they generally are reporters of data.
Why the controlling activities are starting and ending on the reporting sheets? The reason is an increasing
demand for information, shortening time for management decisions, complicated structure of big corporation,
administration and loss of Top managers who are in touch with reality and problems of production plants. [..]
