Synopsis

Many organisations find themselves running their businesses by means of multiple projects. The 'business as usual' scenario has all but disappeared. The drivers of improved efficiency, reduced costs and greater return of investment bear down on programme managers and project managers. These managers are not accountants, yet they need to report revenues and costs, and deliver the work more efficiently than before. The purpose of this book is: to draw together the themes of programme and project management with revenue and cost accounting; to give an organisation a guide to the design of data and systems it should put in place, which will provide information on its expenditure; to enable the development of internal efficiency programmes to achieve a greater return on programme and project spend; to educate the reader about the salient issues of data collection and reporting; to demonstrate how to implement a programme and project accounting system; and to list software and system requirements when implementing a solution.
