Question

LO 1.3Briefly discuss the chain of command for someone being hired into an organization as a staff managerial accountant.

Answer 1

Answer:

A staff managerial accountant is part of the mid-level accounting management.

The top position in the chain of command is the Chief Financial Officer, who is in charge of all financial matters within the firm, especially of presenting accurate financial information at the end of the accounting year to management, stockholders, and potential investors.

Directly below him is the controller, an important position in charge of reporting financial statements during the year, and helping gather information for auditors during external audtis.

Below a staff managerial accountant would be lower level accounting who are in charge of bookeeping on a daily basis.
