explain the implications of backflush accounting on performance management and the control of manufacturing process.

in short, Its effect on performance management is that since we do not attribute costs and values to unfinished products, the work of the management accountant with regard to variance analyses is reduced.
Its effect on ctrl of manufacturing processes is that since no income is credited for an unfinished product even though the costs for them are inured within the department, the management will attempt to reduce the unfinished stock as much as possible and this takes us closer to a JIT environment.
