A producer ready for review in 60 days
A 120-strong producer whose bank demanded examined statements — with unvalued stock and handshake approval routines.
The starting point
Northwind’s credit renewal needed bank-accepted statements inside sixty days. Shop-floor jobs lacked formal costing, buying approvals hid in email chains, and last year’s trial balance diverged from the filed return.
What we did
We costed stock from routings and timesheets, rebuilt last year’s reconciliation, authored a single-page approvals rule the factory genuinely observes, and assembled the examination pack — then joined the bank discussion to field queries firsthand.
Outcomes
- Examination concluded with no corrections; the credit line extended
- Recorded cost accounting the examiners commended explicitly
- Quarterly check-ins keep each renewal effortless
