A: Good morning Marta. Today we will be talking about new acoounting procedures. In a heartbeat we have to face the challenge of the change in reporting. Today we prepare early reporting, and from now, it will be prepared monthly. We believe, this will enable our Staff of managers to run this business better than now. Am I being elear?
M: Oh yes, but you know that the new procedures mean extra work for us?
A: Yeah, I know, but we won't do that now, today, but step by step. And today we need to make a Schedule for implementation. Firstly, as you said, we will need an extra Staff, and the people will need a training on the new accounting procedures.
M: Oh, I understand what you mean. So, as long as things are done properly, and not in a rush, I am ready to agree with this changes. We should to think about this point and I propose to discus it on the next meeting. Do you agree?
A: Great, and the next step will be installation on new accounting software. Do you know what I mean?
M: Of course, and I totally agreel The existing system has never performed very well. But how can we do it to avoid any extra costs? You know, my department budget is not in a good shape. Maybe Mahler can pay for training for our Staff on the new software.
A: Oh, don't worry about that, Mahler can provide it. And other extra costs will have to be paid for by Polystok. And next issue in the Schedule is temporary project team requirements. Do you have any?
M: In this case I need two extra people. And I want also Mahler to pay for them.
A:Oh Marta, isn't it too much? Maybe we can share the costs of temporary Staff fifty - fifty?
M: What exactly do you mean by fifty - fifty?
A: In other words, a half of costs pays Mahler, and you pay the next half. Does that make sense?
M: I am ready to meet you a half way.
A: Ok. I believe we will get something over (uporamy się) with that in three months. What do you think?
M: In my opinion a realistic time frame to install the new accounting software, to train accounting Staff and to start monthly reporting, is from five to nine months. Ania look for example how many time we need to hire new workers and to train the Staff.
A: So, you mean I shouldn't be so optimistic?
M: Exactly. And think also about the technical problems, which are possible to arrive.
A: Ok. Shall I go over the main points we agreed?
S: Yes.
A: So, we agree on the new accounting procedures, we hire 2 extra workers, and for the training pays Mahler. We install a new accounting software and organize a training. The costs of new workers we pay half to half. Is it ok?
M: Definitely. So, see you at the next meeting. When?
A: Next Monday at 2 o'clock.
S: So see you.
D: See you.
