As a new controller, reply to this comment by a plant manager: "As I see it, our accountants may be needed to keep records for shareholders and Uncle Sam, but I don't want them sticking their noses in my day-to-day operations. I do the best I know how. No bean counter knows enough about my responsibilities to be of any use to me." Why are accountants valuable to the organization? What responsibilities do managers have in understanding financial information?

Accountants play major role in firms in handling financial records and auditing. Managers know financial information based on either background knowledge or learning on the job

Explanation:

The accountants are valuable to the organization because they monitor the monetary information that concerns the firm, they handle how cash come in and keep track of how they are spent, all these makes them valuable even to the extent of auditing information as regarding the firm. Managers might understand financial information either based on how they monitor what occurs in the organization or what they learnt in from college. But it's unsafe for the managers to handle financial situation without the aid of a professional accountant.
