Why is the Accounts Department more ridiculed than respected in a number of organisations? Identify up to 5 main causes & their remedy.

Accounts Department personnel have been perceived as :

* "Bean Counters" and other similar derogatory terms all over the world. Basically meaning, they are good for nothing except clerical jobs.

* People living in an alternative universe as far as the "real" business of deal making and running a business is concerned. Divested from reality, basically.

* Known as "Deduction masters" e.g, deducting amounts from employees, suppliers, service providers.

I agree with the perception you have provided as the accounts department has even been propagated as only numbers of the company with less importance of driving innovation in any certain way
