Additional Product Information
LEADING Costing is a cost accounting tool specially tailored to the needs of the advertising industry and a standard tool for modern agency controlling., LEADING Costing provides management with all the necessary information to pursue and supervise the profitability of the agency, on the level of cost centers e.g., contact groups, media department, management, creative teams, and on the level of cost units e.g., client groups, client level, product level, Whereas the finance accounting administers all the expenditure and revenue on the basis of the cost types, e.g. salaries, rent, etc., LEADING Costing answers the questions : Where do the costs and revenues arise in the agency? Which customer generates which revenues or causes which expenses?, The real advantage of LEADING Costing compared to classical cost accounting systems for industry is the possibility to allocate overhead costs, i.e. costs which cannot simply be assigned to a cost center, e.g. rental cost. LEADING Costing enables the basic information regarding time keeping records from LEADING Job to be assigned according to the agency's own cost distribution key, naturally without neglecting the classical method of cost allocation., LEADING Costing was planned as full cost accounting, (contribution costing is also possible), drawing information from the following data sources:, all relevant cost accounting data from the finance accounting, time records from LEADING Job, calculated on the basis of actual man hours and on the basis of scheduled hourly rate, As well as the above mentioned possibilities LEADING Costing offers the option of manual accounting for purely cost accounting purposes. The system makes feasible a complete allocation of income and costs on the principle of causation. In addition all costs and revenues can be budgeted monthly, quarter-yearly or yearly. With the assistance of the evaluations a quick comparison can be made with the actual budget. Using the option "Comparison to previous year?" seasonal variations can be exactly determined. The possibility of budgeting cost centers and cost units and the connected target-performance comparison make LEADING Costing an ideal controlling tool., The finance accounting is connected to the modules of LEADING Costing by an optional interface. The relevant finance accounting data are taken over without interruption into the LEADING Costing and at the same time necessary data from LEADING Job time records are passed on to be processed together. , The package is currently applied in 15 different countries (under different tax systems; multi-lingual; multi-company, multi-site; teleworking; multi-currency; fully EMU compliant
