520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Most accounting systems used by construction contractors are not produce current and reliable cost and progress reports. The need for adequate reporting is increasingly obvious in one of the world's largest, most competitive and most difficult to control businesses. The job of preparing timely and accurate reports falls squarely on the accountant, for he is management's right arm in planning and controlling. But the accountant can prepare reports that are timely and accurate only with the aid of an efficient and properly controlled accounting system. This book illustrates an accounting system-designed specifically for construction contractors that will produce with a minimum of effort, information that is both current and accurate. The system presented has resulted in substantial savings of time and dollars when applied to real-life situations.
