For those of us involved in financial reporting or project environments, the challenges we face are many. Whether we're forecasting our labour requirements or performing a variance analysis, there is no shortage to the issues-both technical and personal-we might encounter.

Enter veteran accountant Alana Reid, who has spent the majority of her decades-spanning career in project environments. Other books in this genre tend to focus on technical approaches in areas like financial modeling or cost estimating. A Project Controller's Handbook discusses the day-to-day functional, operational, and reporting issues involved in managing projects. Here, readers can expect to find invaluable guidance on . . .

- Establishing a project and its key considerations
- Reporting on labour and timesheet data connections
- Managing vendor and supply contract reports
- Attaining efficiency, considering contingencies, and managing cashflow
- Weighing a project's environmental and social impacts
- Much more

Through this, Reid provides meaningful groundwork for understanding the financial processes and relationships crucial to projects' success.

Thorough yet concise, A Project Controller's Handbook draws on Reid's twenty years of experience to sketch the contours of issues often encountered in project environments, from setup through to reporting on final accruals, creating a helpful, educative resource for anyone entering or looking to break into project environments or take on the role of a controller.
