Corporate Cost Allocation Concept (Jun/2013)

Beginning in Jan/2013 I received the mission to create new cost allocation concept on Corporate Finance costs/expenses to Business Units. The main difficulty was to create a concept in which costs from finance departments (indirect costs) were to be allocated into several Business Units in within the corporation, respecting the Business Plan already in place (no cost variation were to be accepted). Also there should be created a cost center structure into SAP ERP. After 3 months of hard work, I created a concept in which all Business Units would receive the allocation of planned costs on monthly basis, having a correction (plus or minus) on every trimester according to cost drivers that were nominated for all finance areas (Acc. Payable, Acc. Receivable, Accounting and Taxes). With this concept Business Units were able to receive costs without variances and if so, there would have enough time to consider cost variances on Forecasts throughout the year. This work awarded me as the Success of the 1st Semester in 2013, being nominated directly by the organization CFO.
