DEFINITION
The need to identify and control costs is obvious, and so is the need to tie receipts and receivables to the right jobs and activities. It is less obvious how to ensure that summary information presented to senior management is accurate, and even less obvious how to provide line management and supervisors with prompt enough feedback on their areas of operation.
Just as with a work-order system, a specialized auxiliary system may be necessary because the enterprise system cannot be expected to do everything the enterprise needs.
THE BENEFITS
The benefits of a detailed and specialized cost tracking and budgeting system are: · Executives have confidence in the accuracy of summary reports on which they base major policy decisions. · Operational managers can monitor the current status of an individual job/project/activity, including external costs, allocated costs, and offsetting revenues. · Decisions are not distorted by ignorance of encumbered funds. · Offsetting revenues are predicted and allocated accurately.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
Dataface can offer: · Short-term consultancy to examine current procedures and systems and make recommendations for process improvements. · Using both our experience and our components, implementation of software systems to work in conjunction with existing packages or in-house financial systems.
