prepare a report (no more than 10 pages) for Maureen Pistana that addresses the following:

Assignment You have just been hired as a graduate accountant by Suunto Corporation, a company that manufactures a variety of electronic products. It specialises in commercial and residential products with moderate to large electric motors. There are three main divisions in Suunto: Cool Sphere (that produces fans), Dry Air (that produces air conditioners) and Hot Space (that produces heaters). All divisions are stand-alone, with a manager responsible for each division, as well as its own administrative functions. The respective managers are: Michael Fowler (Cool Sphere), Shirley Robson (Dry Air) and Gordon Stapleton (Hot Space). The accounting function is centralised, however, each division has an accounts team to help with preparation of planning and reports. From time to time, an accountant from the main office may be assigned to a division to assist with issues that the division may encounter, and which the accounts team may not have the expertise or experience to handle. You have been appointed to a graduate position with the central accounting team and have been made aware that from time to time, your job assignation may take you out of the central office into a division. You will be reporting to Maureen Pistana, the Chief Financial Officer of Suunto Corporation. On your first day, Maureen called you into her office and informed you that you have to prepare a report for her. You are required to head down to Cool Sphere to speak to Michael Fowler, the manager of the division to discuss some planning issues. You are then to head to Dry Air to see Shirley Robson, who is having some issues with manufacturing and finally to Hot Space, where Gordon Stapleton needs help with his staffing requirements.
