CHOICE Review

This volume will make a lot of accounting managers uncomfortable simply because it is about change, sometimes dramatic change, in their organizations. Bragg's goal is to apply a combination of total quality management and reengineering concepts to a typical company's accounting system. The desired result is a "lean and mean" accounting system that is more efficient and less expensive. Throughout the book, Bragg systematically analyzes functional areas of a typical accounting system, proposes changes, and then analyzes the impact on accounting controls and safeguards. His writing style is as crisp and clean as the ideas he presents. The volume is thorough, even including a chapter on the human resources implications of the proposed changes. There are bibliographic references at the end of each chapter, and an extensive index. Graduate; faculty; professional. F. A. Marino Assumption College
