"The Relationship Between Religious Denomination and Church Size Upon Internal Control Practices"

Abstract

There is an adage in management accounting that goes like this: What gets measured, gets done. Many firms are now re-evaluating their performance measurement systems to ensure that performance measures are tied to critical success factors. Kaplan and Norton have proposed a balanced scorecard approach to tracking the key elements of a firm s strategy. The balanced scorecard requires management to evaluate performance from four specific perspectives: financial, customer, internal business, and innovation and learning. This paper suggests that business professionals would do well to identify those success factors critical to their own personal and career objectives and apply a balanced scorecard approach to monitoring their personal performance and progress toward achieving their goals
