Establish Cost Accounting Procedures Establish Cost Accounting Procedures is an organized grouping of methods and activities designed to consistently produce reliable cost information. The Procedures followed should be designed to perform at least a certain minimum level of Cost Accounting and provide a basic amount of cost information necessary to accomplish the many objectives associated with Cost Management and Control. The more important of these minimum criteria for Cost Accounting are associated with Standards and are incorporated in the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards Number 4 - Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government. Acquire Human Resources This process includes all actions associated with recruiting, selecting, assessing, accessing and hiring all human resources and recording information on other designated individuals that have been identified for tracking by DoD Management. This includes recruiting candidates, collecting and providing information from / to the person, selecting, assessing selectee documentation, completing examinations, hiring, completing required documentation for an accession, and completing all steps to build/update a person's Human Resources Profile.

The more important of these minimum criteria for Cost Accounting are associated with Standards and are incorporated in the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards Number 4 - Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government. Analyze Denied Requests Some denied Cost Information Requests may be worthy of additional analysis. This process will result in the need to generate a Remedial Action Plan that will be coordinated with the customer to determine if alternative means may be used to satisfy the Cost Information Request. This process reviews the various denied requests with the intent of identifying a pattern of common reasons for being declined, and therefore, requires attention on the part of the cost revenue performance manager. This may include looking for an opportunity to enhance the cost revenue performance manager's capability or to answer increasing customer demand for a particular area of information. This may also include the cost revenue performance manager noticing a trend in requests for information that are not within the scope of its responsibilities. In this case, it will be necessary to educate customers to better understand the focus of the cost revenue performance manager's services.

The more important of these minimum criteria for Cost Accounting are associated with Standards and are incorporated in the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards Number 4 - Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government. Define Cost Performance Model The Define Cost Performance Model process obtains the laws, regulations, standards, etc. from External Oversight, Internal Oversight and Other Domains, as well as the high level framework established in the strategic plan and budget from Other Domains. In addition, this process acquires acceptable standards and methods from Industry Partners and External Oversight. Using these inputs, this process defines model structure and data requirements, relationships of responsibility segments and cost objects, the criteria for detecting business anomalies, and the methodology by which inputs will be traced to the model elements. It also establishes a framework at the specific program level, in which all costs can be accumulated or allocated to specific activities and/or customers In order to calculate the costs of providing a specific service or product within an agency/organization. Ultimately, it will produce an unpopulated model. The start event for this process is Information Requested. The end event is Model Completed.

The more important of these minimum criteria for Cost Accounting are associated with Standards and are incorporated in the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards Number 4 - Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government. Define High Level Cost Objects This process incorporates the high level cost object structure, as defined by budget and accounting, into the model framework. This also includes defining the relationships of the high level cost objects to the responsibility segments. Cost Object. This is an activity or item whose cost is to be measured. In a broad sense, a cost object can be an organizational division, geographical area (e.g., district, region, etc.), cost center, program, activity, task, product, service, customer, or asset. Cost objects may be decomposed into lower level cost objects to the extent required. As an example, the purpose of cost accounting by a responsibility segment is to measure the costs of its outputs. These outputs may be the services or products that the segment produces and delivers, the missions or tasks that the segment performs, or the customers or markets that the responsibility segment serves. There may be intermediate cost objects that are used in the course of the cost assignment process.

Define Responsibility Segment This process incorporates the responsibility segment structure, as defined by the department's strategic plan, into the model framework. Responsibility Segments: A responsibility segment is a component of a reporting entity that is responsible for carrying out a mission, conducting a major line of activity or producing one or a group of related products or services. In addition, responsibility segments usually possess the following characteristics: 1. Their managers report to the entity's top management directly; and 2. Their resources and results of operations can be clearly distinguished from those of other segments of the entity. These two characteristics differentiate responsibility segments from cost objects. A cost object can be at any level of an organization and may not report to the top management directly. A responsibility segment can contain cost objects within itself.

Perform Cost Assignment Perform Cost Assignment includes the identification of accumulated costs with cost objects. A cost object is an activity or item, such as a program, service, task, or organization whose costs are to be measured. Costs assigned to a cost object are either direct or indirect. A direct cost can be traced and assigned to the cost object in an unbiased, cost effective manner. Without such a direct relationship to the cost object, an indirect cost requires an in-between activity to help establish a formula relationship. When the indirect cost is assigned through the use of this formula, the cost is considered allocated. The activity used to establish the in-between linkage is called the basis of allocation.

Without such a direct relationship to the cost object, an indirect cost requires an in-between activity to help establish a formula relationship. When the indirect cost is assigned through the use of this formula, the cost is considered allocated. The activity used to establish the in-between linkage is called the basis of allocation. Relieve CIP and or WIP Account This process involves the capitalization of costs accumulated in the CIP and WIP accounts, by means of posting them to an asset account.
