CASE : DESERT COOL LTD.
Desert Cool Ltd. is an old company engaged in manufacture and distribution of ice cream with the help of a workforce of about 300. Because of increasing business, the company needed to strengthen its accounting procedure particularly through computerisation. For this purpose, the company decided to hire a new manager, designated as Assistaft Commercial Manager. The company invited applications through press advertisement and after receiving applications, it appointed a selection committee consisting of three members of top management including Commercial Manager, Mr. Rajesh. The committee interviewed several candidates and finally selected Mr. Vishwanath as the new Assistant Commercial Manager.
After joining the company, Mr. Vishwanath showed great dedication to his work. He used to put extra efforts and even worked during holidays as he did not have any family responsibility. He gained the reputation of being a dedicated employee, his strong point being his knowledge of accountancy and computers. He was reporting to Mr. Rajesh, the Commercial Manager who was quite impressed with his working.
The accounting procedures of the company were in need of considerable improvement. Mr. Ajay Kumar, the Managing Director of the company, directed Mr. Rajesh to get the needful done for introducing a computerised accounting system. Since most of accounting work related to sales, no separate accounting department existed and the work was performed under the direction of the Commercial Manager.
