I've seen Brian Maskell speak on lean accounting, he is very effective and informative. This is a conference being held in September in Dearborn MI. He also has a book on lean accounting, which I have not read though. Does anyone find traditional accounting interfering with lean transformation efforts? What have you done to counteract that?
