INTRODUCTION TO LEAN ACCOUNTING Location: Asolo, La Fornace dell'Innovazione, Italy Speakers: Ross Maynard, Nicola Gianesin, Alberto Canepari Period: 17 april
Con il patrocinio di: 
Lean Management seeks to radically restructure the organization into Value Streams, with the aim of streamlining organizational processes to improve customer service; whilst also improving efficiency and value. In a "lean" environment, the "Value Stream Manager" has income and expenditure responsibility. This often requires significant restructuring in recording and reporting financial information, to achieve the following objectives:
- Clear and relevant Value Stream Income and Expenditure reports;
- A coordinated set of performance measures and indicators for Value Stream Managers;
- Cell and Value Stream measures that link to corporate strategy and management reporting;
- Phased reduction of financial transactions including stock, supplier payments, work orders, purchase orders and so on;
- Application of lean principles to the finance function to reduce complexity and waste;
- Involvement of Value Stream Managers in the financial planning and budgeting processes;
- Training of Value Stream Managers, and others, in financial decision making tools;
- Application of advanced lean accounting tools at the Value Stream level, including target costing and Sales, Operational and Financial Planning.
Together these elements make up lean accounting.
