“The BOM reconciliation module forced us to reopen three ‘closed’ SKUs. We still struggle with scrap coding discipline, but at least the blind spots have names.”Mei-Ling H., Cost Controller — Taoyuan electronics plant

Course outline
What changes
Audit habits that survive the shop floor
We teach methods you can reuse when the plant schedule shifts and the ledger looks tidy but the floor does not.
01
Trace cost from BOM to ledger
Connect engineering revisions, substitute materials, and purchase price variance to the accounts that actually move.
02
Read labor and overhead with skepticism
Spot absorption distortions, idle capacity myths, and allocation keys that flattered last quarter’s numbers.
03
Write findings plants will act on
Frame issues in language operations trusts—quantified, dated, and tied to a control owner.

Notes from recent cohorts
“Shorter than I expected on ERP screenshots; longer—and better—on how to challenge overhead keys with production data.”Anonymous client in precision machining
