Controlling costs for effective and accurate financial decision making
Profitability analyses, which are for example executed in the context of sales controlling, are, on the one hand, based on the income and expenses directly connected with the cash flows of financial instruments. On the other hand, processing of these deals also involves personnel and material costs. In cost centre accounting, these costs are analysed and allocated to the relevant deals, products, customers and/or organisational units. This cost allocation can also be used for integrated unit costing. As a result, all posted actual costs have been allocated to their cost drivers and are available for any budget and performance analysis and comparison between target and actual values.
Fully traceable results
Hence, performance data, e.g. costs per workplace, per product, per customer segment, per deal become transparent and can be used to devise long-term yield-increasing measures.
