Challenges faced
Challenges faced

1. Inefficient Stock Management

The company lacked an efficient system to track and manage the raw materials, finished products, and packaging materials. There existed a mismatch between physical stock and accounted stock.

2. Poor Stock Valuation

Without proper valuation methods in place, the company faced difficulties in accurately assessing the value of its stock, leading to financial discrepancies.

3. Receivables Management Issues

The Company struggled with timely tracking and collection of payments from clients, resulting in cash flow challenges and potential revenue loss. The debtors of the client slowly turned to bad debts, leading to reduced profits.

4. Production accounting

Due to the lack of control over stock and improper accounting of production, the cost of finished goods was underpriced and led to a potential loss of return.

5. Inventory Discrepancies

Without proper accounting, it’s difficult to track inventory accurately. This can result in overstocking or stockouts, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.

6. Financial Inaccuracy

Lack of production and accounting can lead to inaccurate financial statements, affecting decision-making, investor confidence, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

7. Cost Overruns

Without knowing the true cost of production, it’s challenging to set accurate pricing or control costs effectively. This can lead to unexpected expenses and reduced profitability.

8. Inefficiencies in Resource Allocation

Production accounting helps in identifying inefficiencies in resource usage such as labour, raw materials, and equipment. Without this information, resources may be underutilized or misallocated.

9. Inaccurate Performance Evaluation

Proper production accounting provides insights into the performance of different production processes, departments, or products. Without it, evaluating performance becomes subjective and less reliable.

10. Compliance Issues

Manufacturing companies are often subject to regulations related to financial reporting, taxation, and environmental standards. Failure to account for production properly can result in noncompliance and potential legal consequences.

11. Lack of Strategic Insights

Production accounting data is valuable for strategic planning and decision-making. Without it, the company may lack insights into areas for improvement, market trends, or expansion opportunities.
