What Does It Really Cost?  

As budgets tighten, managers are confronted with a myriad of questions
from budget personnel, state legislators, and the public regarding their
budgets and costs.  People ask questions such as:

Should the service be contracted out? 

Should you change the way services are delivered?

What would be the impact of eliminating daily service on the system?

To get the correct answers you must know the true cost of the services
and have a system in pace to capture these costs.  You cannot begin to
make accurate decisions unless you have accurate costs.  Activity based
costing can provide answers to help you make better management
decisions.  Activity based costing is one answer that may provide your
organization the capacity to build a solid performance based budget and
management system. 

This two day course is designed to provide you with the foundational
principles for activity based costing and to teach you the basics for
establishing a system.  You will learn about how to define core
activities, overhead allocation methodologies and the methods to collect
data.  You will work on exercises related to cost classification and
performance measures.
