Performance of the IT Labor Capitalization Process
When preparing to defend the capitalization of labor costs associated with the development of software for internal use, the old adage "the best defense is a good offense" rings true. Instilling management confidence that the labor capitalization process is performing to internal standards - and those standards are routinely and effectively monitored - is the best offense the IT financial department can provide. In this presentation you will learn how the integration of ERP and enterprise project management systems with a strong financial management tool, along with some basic project management processes, can ensure accurate financial information and reliable financial reporting -- two keys to a successful audit.
