BUSINESS CASE:The building maintenance-related budget comprises to about 39% of total administrative expense budget of OAS. It is very important that these accounts are closely monitored and the budget monitoring system is efficient. An effective system may result to a more accurate data which will greatly help in the planning and optimization of use of budget.

An initial comparison of the actual expenses from the General Ledger of the Oracle System (Official Record) and the Utilization Report of the section show an average discrepancy of 18% in 2004 and 20% in 2005.

This project shall focus on budget monitoring process of the following administrative expense accounts: Electricity, Electrical Equipment and Janitorial Services.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

PROBLEM STATEMENT : The internal budget monitoring report for building maintenance-related expenses does not tally with official accounting records and does not provide in a timely manner, how the budget allocation was used. As a result, the figures are not reliable for planning purposes and leads to customer dissatisfaction.

Results of Brainstorming of Proposed Solutions for Janitorial Services

ANALYZEANALYZE

CONTROL FACTORS ISSUES/CONCERNS PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

1. Not familiar with terminologies, policies, procedures of budget, accounting and other related procedures

Conduct an orientation on common terms used, policies, procedures of budget, accounting and other related procedures. - to have a common understanding

2. Not familiar with ORACLE GL Inquirer and related functionalities including available reports/data

For this project, will concentrate on OAFA-FM particularly the 3 administrative expense accounts.

Conduct a training session with concerned budget coordinators in coordination with CTL on use of Oracle and the available reports/data that can be used in budget monitoring

3. Variation between closing dates of Oracle General Ledger and date of generating monthly utilization report/no common reference point of information

As confirmed with CTL, closing of general ledger is at the 8th of the succeeding month. When actual expenses are downloaded earlier than the specified date, the figures will still change upon final closing of general ledger. It is not advisable to inquire from the system or run the report earlier than 8th of the month.

Need to discuss this with OAS Management if budget utilization report can be submitted on a later date.

The Budget Utilization Report from OAS Divisions is submitted every 5th of the month as part of the monthly work status/accomplishment report. We shall explore the possibility of changing the submission date of the Budget Utilization Report, to synchronize with the closing date of the GL system of CTL. -

Create a common understanding on the treatment of expenses, when it is considered “actual expense” and “commitments”.

Enhance/standardize the current monitoring report.

5. Not checking actual expenses recorded in Oracle General Ledger

Introduce additional step in the current monitoring process whereby the staff concerned should check actual expenses in Oracle General Ledger System and reconcile with his monitoring report/sheet.

Negative attitude against usability of Oracle

The involved budget coordinator is still working on a

shift work schedule.

Budget coordinators may not strictly follow the improved

process

Not checking the GL Oracle regularly to update the budget

monitoring sheet

Viewing the GL inquirer before closing of general

ledger/books.

- Should explain to staff and remind them

that figures obtained from the GL before closing are not final; there may be changes in the total actual expense for the month/period.

- Until the date of submission of monthly

utilization report has been changed, there is a need to generate the figures after GL closing.

To train and closely guide the process owner on use of Oracle; provide clear

guidelines/step by step process on how to use Oracle - some of the negative

perception may actually be unfamiliarity with the correct procedures

Remind the budget coordinator to check regularly; explain to staff the importance of checking the Oracle GL to ensure accuracy

of budget monitoring.

Request for back-up who is not on shift schedule.

Meet with budget coordinators every 2 months, discuss the merits/benefits of the process; there is a control sheet to monitor if budget coordinators are following the improved process.
