For managers to be able to evaluate every aspect of monthly reporting, account receivable and account payable they need a comprehensive plan that can help them.

The department of finance is devoted to offering all departments with support and information that is complete and precise.

The department’s objectives with a revised purpose statement are employee’s inspiration and allow them to know what is expected. New employees were added to assist with the new overflow expectation, and this came together with the implementation of the purpose statement. The new employees during interview, they were asked questions that were serious so that to know their experience, what assistance each of them will be able to offer to the department and to know their background. During the interview, each question was connected to specifically the department and making sure that each employee could handle the amount of work that they will be given in the department.

In the account and finance department, we have some goals to help attain the corporation's goal. Our goals are retaining new employees; if new employees are retained, then it will be easy to achieve the corporate goal because existing employees have more knowledge of the corporate. We will do this by quality supervision, and by this, it will help employees feel that they can trust their managers. The timeline for this is 90days with continuous progress.
