For capital budgeting decisions, NPV is a better metric. NPV and IRR are very similar in many respects, and they carry the same reliance on the same underlying assumptions about the underlying cash flows. Additionally, they both relate to the company's cost of capital. IRR is typically used as a go/no-go threshold, whereas NPV measures the raw cash flows.
Ultimately, for most companies they objective is to generate superior returns for their shareholders. What NPV does that IRR does not do is consider the cash return of the project. With limited funds to go around, management will typically need to decided between a variety of different projects. Some will be approved and others will not be approved. In order...
A project with a higher IRR does not necessarily generate more cash flow than one with a lower IRR. For a variety of reasons, the two projects can be mutually exclusive. In such a scenario, the firm would improve its return on investment, but at the expense of earnings per share. This runs counter to the needs of the shareholders, who wish to see their investment returns maximized in dollar form. As such, NPV is the better metric by which capital budgeting decisions are made. It incorporates all of the same components as IRR, but also includes information with respect to the size of the cash flows involved. That IRR does not explicitly address the issue of cash…
Litzenberger and Joy (1975) note that in a decentralized system, quantitative measures are more common for evaluating projects, but they also note that for larger projects there is some degree of centralization. This is the case with Stryker, where the most substantial projects are approved by the Board of Directors. Ang (1986) notes, however, that there can be agency problems where the interests of the division are misaligned with the

Because huge sums of money can be lost if

The problem is that the sheriff was able to nearly or entirely unilaterally make the decisions that were made that led to the problem and that is a unquestionable breakdown in internal controls and city management discipline. For example, no single payroll/accounting department person (even if it's a controller) should not have total command and control over the creation and disbursement of funds. At least one other person, preferably someone
