With new data comes the opportunity to break old paradigms. In the third in a series of audioconferences on the AGA-sponsored research on Performance Based Management (PBM), participants report on the new perspectives brought about by integrated financial and non-financial information. PBM delivers what one pilot test participant calls "integrated awareness": the big picture information that decision makers need to keep their organizations steering in the right strategic direction. It also provides the data managers need to detect and solve performance problems. All this, plus PBM shows taxpayers both the how and what of their return on investment in government.
To share their expertise and experiences in process based accounting and improving financial reporting are James Brimson, MS, founder of Activity Based Management Institute; and Clifton A. Williams, CGFM, CPA, Partner, Grant Thornton LLP.
