Finance and Accounting Department — Accord Aces, Inc.  ·  Q2 2026

As our organization continues to grow, the Finance and Accounting Department is reviewing and enhancing our accounting policies and procedures — creating a more standardized, transparent, and efficient financial management system that delivers better service to every department.

Through these improvements, we aim to simplify workflows, reduce processing delays, strengthen internal controls, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide more reliable financial information to support sound business decisions.

"These enhancements are part of our commitment to building a stronger financial foundation for Accord — not just policy updates, but a statement of where we are headed."

01 What's Changing?

Over the coming weeks, updated policies and standardized procedures will be introduced for several key financial processes:

📋

💵
Cash Advances
Clearer procedures for requesting, approving, utilizing, and liquidating cash advances to improve accountability and processing efficiency.

02 What to Expect?

To ensure a smooth and successful transition, implementation will be carried out in three phases:

📄
Phase 1
Policy Distribution
Updated accounting policies and procedures shared with all departments for review and familiarization.
🎓
Phase 2
Orientation Sessions
Interactive briefings to explain new processes, clarify requirements, and answer questions from all teams.
🤝
Phase 3
Transition Period
A reasonable implementation period allowing everyone to adapt before new procedures become fully effective.

03 Moving Forward Together

These enhancements represent more than just policy updates — they are part of our commitment to building a stronger financial foundation for Accord. By working together and following standardized processes, we can improve efficiency, strengthen accountability, and provide better support to our clients, employees, and business partners.

Key Focus Areas Going Forward

  • Strengthening monitoring of pending billings and overdue accounts
  • Ensuring timely billing dispatch upon completion of all requirements
  • Continuous collection follow-ups and account reconciliation
  • Close coordination with Operations for immediate compliance with pending requirements
  • Maintaining strong financial controls while supporting operational efficiency and business growth

The Finance and Accounting Department appreciates everyone's cooperation and support as we continue this journey toward operational excellence. Together, we are creating a more efficient, accountable, and future-ready Accord.

The team remains aligned with ACCORD Management's direction toward accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement. Through teamwork, discipline, and collaboration, we remain committed to supporting the organization's financial stability and long-term success.
