Accounting Practices Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines prevailing general and inventory accounting approaches across manufacturing firms using a June 2020 industry survey. The analysis situates practices within revenue bands and draws on verbatim responses and benchmark comparisons to spotlight three focus areas: accounting method and revenue recognition practices, including completion and hybrid approaches; software and ERP adoption and satisfaction, from QuickBooks to Syteline and SAP; and close-cycle timing and staffing models, such as bookkeeper/controller versus CFO oversight. Emerging patterns indicate trade-offs between integration and usability, and charts highlight variability in implementation and satisfaction. The report reveals where finance and operations teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
Published by Quickie Survey in June 2020. Based on a 95-respondent Quickie survey of manufacturing companies (quantitative questionnaire responses and verbatim open-ended answers) collected June 2020.
