A COMPUTERIZED MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR MONITORING SPENDING: A USER'S MANUAL

摘要

In an organization with budgetary constraints, it is of critical importance to monitor spending throughout the accounting period. A PL/I program has been written which uses monthly cost and manpower data to generate a management report. This report displays, in tabular form, the monthly cost and manpower expenditure, cumulative expenditures for the year to date, allowable straight-line spending for the remainder of the year, etc., on an account basis. The program is also capable of displaying subtotals for groups of programs and totals for the entire division. In a year of use, the program has been shown to provide timely and concise spending information for division managers.
