Understanding Variance Analysis

• Many businesses, especially the small,
  entrepreneurial kind, ignore or forget the other
  half of the budgeting.
• Budgets are too often proposed, discussed,
  accepted, but then forgotten.
• Variance analysis looks after-the-fact at what
  caused a difference between plan vs. actual.
• Good management looks at what that difference
  means to the business.
• CostCentersPlus provides a new way of looking at
  the plan vs. actual data that owners and managers
  need to perform that critical variance analysis.

With CostCentersPlus you can

• perform flexible variance analyses
• perform period-over-period comparisons
• break down your analyses by debit and credit

5
With CostCentersPlus you can

• generate meaningful ratio calculations (actual
  figures prorated to actualplanned) as well as
  intuitive dashboard indicators for ratios, and
  top-down bar charts for variances (hot-linked for
  instant drill-down)

6
With CostCentersPlus you can

• start with a high level inspection of costs, then
  drill down, or start at a lower level and drill
  up using cost center and cost element hierarchies
  that you are already familiar with from working
  with your ERP solution. Both the cost center and
  cost element hierarchies are expandable and
  collapsible independently of each other, allowing
  you to determine the depth of detail desired

CostCentersPlus - Easy To Use - Instant Results

• The amounts in each report cell are dictated by
  the intersection of the cost center (group) and
  cost element (group) selected.
• By drilling down (or up) into any combination of
  cost center (group) and cost element (group) in
  the hierarchies, the report will determine the
  costs associated with that selection and refresh
  the screen accordingly.

Final Notes

• Although variance analysis can be very complex,
  the main guide is common sense.
• Going under budget is a positive variance, and
  over budget is a negative variance, but positive
  variances aren't always good news.
• For example, positive variances in advertising in
  February mean that money has not been spent, but
  they also mean that advertising has not been
  placed.
• Product sales are below expectations for this
  same period.
• Could the advertising missed in February be a
  possible cause?
• Yes, of course it could.

Final Notes

• Every variance should stimulate questions.
• Why did one project cost more or less?
• Were objectives met?
• Is a positive variance a cost saving or a failure
  to implement?
• Is a negative variance a change in plans, a
  management failure, or an unrealistic budget?
• A variance table like the one CostCentersPlus
  offers can provide management with significant
  information.
• Without this data, some of these important
  questions might go unasked.
