New CA seminar “FIXED COSTS CONTROLLING” by Dietmar Pascher

The seminar was held by Mr Dietmar Pascher, a trainer and partner at one of the most renowned controlling schools in the world, well-known for its singular approach and completely unique methodology.

Participants had the opportunity to gain insight into the best German controlling practices directly from the most prominent trainer of the leading Controller Akademie. The official language of the seminar was English.

Fixed costs have become one of the hot topics in recent years, leading to the development of numerous practical methods aimed at placing the “explosion of fixed costs” fully under control. After careful consideration of the possibilities to influnce variable costs (primarily the cost of goods sold), it is becoming clear that all options have been exhausted and that fixed costs are the only remaining area with the potential to cut costs.
