Do KPI Targets Actually Make Us Better?

In this episode, MJ the tutor looks at a real-world $100 million corporate disaster to answer a big exam question: what happens when the metrics you design to drive efficiency actually break your business? You'll learn the perils of sub-optimisation, and why KPIs that look perfect on a spreadsheet can totally fail in real life. Accounting Makes Cents is a biweekly podcast dedicated to CIMA accounting students and those still thinking about it.
