We are of the opinion SPC control charts provide an alternative to traditional instruments of financial control. We attempted to prove it in this article where we have demonstrated how SPC can be effectively implemented to corporate financial management, and the different types of control charts which exhibit varying sensitivity to process mean shifts. Specifically, Shewhart’s and CUSUM control charts were compared, and it was concluded the latter is suitable for processes in which small mean shifts need to be detected early on. Possible future expansion of our work is application of SPC into other areas where data-driven realtime statistical control is warranted.
