EcoSys EPC

Capitalization

Ensure a consistent enterprise process for compliance with capitalization rules and standards, such as AICPA's SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use."

EcoSys EPC (Enterprise Planning & Controls) is ideally suited to:

  • Clearly segregate capital and expense charges
    Flexibly define capitalization rules by financial category, type of project, type of resource, and phase. Track capital and expense budgets separately.
  • Flexibly depreciate expenses
    Utilize one or more depreciation rules. View amortized versus cash out the door cash flows.
  • Perform IT software capitalization
    Flexibly administer information technology software capitalization based on specific rules and standards established by the organization. Integrate documentation and supplementary data with financial information and actual transactions
  • Utilize integrated financial data
    Facilitate robust capitalization in EPC by consolidating forecasts and actuals by cost category, project type, resource type, and phase from ERP, GL, Enterprise Project Management, and Timesheet systems.
  • Ensure audit-ability
    EPC provides full lockdown of history. Changes can only impact future periods, unless a formal adjustment is made.
