In the mid-1980s Coke management saw that its international operations were increasing significantly and that the nature of its business had changed since its last accounting manual had been written. It needed a comprehensive, easy-to-reference accounting manual to help maintain strong financial controls over operations. Management felt that a better accounting manual would help the firm acquire reliable information about units all over the world in order to help local subsidiaries operate at peak efficiency and generate corporate wide reports consistently.

A team consisting of a project manager and three senior accountants worked for eight months to develop an entirely new accounting manual. A universal chart of accounts was set up so that each account in the balance sheet and income statement would be consistent around the world. Based on the chart of accounts, definitions of each account were written and policies and procedures governing the use of each account and the flow of information into the financial statements were developed. A separate section was written describing how to translate financial statements from local currencies into U.S. dollars. Drafts of the report were given to audit, legal, and tax managers for their comments, and other field accounting managers were asked for their input before a final draft was completed.
