The Charge of Internal and External Auditors

Enforce generally-accepted accounting principles• Relevant• Faithful Representation (fair value)

Encourage good capital stewardship• Measure similar liabilities in similar ways• Confirm spending matches liability burn-down• Anticipate repeats of lessons learned

Matching Spending to Liability Burn-down

Remeasure liability periodically at “fair value”• Remedy implemented• Regulator/community accepted remedy• Counterparty default risk resolved/paid

Remember: remaining liability ≠ uncommitted funds

The “Harmonized” WBS Explained

Definition: A WBS that is uniformly applied across all financial activities from forecasting through spending on every project in the portfolio

But not necessarily applied to all WBS levels in all financial activities (to be clarified)

Do not confuse the company-wide WBS to project-level work tasks contained in a contractor scope-of-work

The more granular the detail, the more financial control (there may be a point of diminishing return)

The operational system contains the detail, the ERP system may not

The “Harmonized” WBS Example

WBS LevelForecasts &

BudgetsProposals & Purchases Invoices Example

Phase X X X Remedial Implementation

Activity X X X Groundwater Remediation

Element X X Engineering Design

Component X Direct Labor

When the work is invoiced, the lowest level of details are known and should be tracked uniformly across the portfolio

When forecasts are made, because of the uncertainty, lower levels of detail may be useful for cost buildup but not for financial control purposes

Harmonized WBS provides the highest visibility and the baseline data required for additional financial controls during project execution stages

Work Commitment Control

Page 19: Enfos erci webinar 20150224

Contains ENFOS confidential and proprietary information. 19

Definition: Monitoring and controlling the expenditure commitment against a budget and balance

A harmonized WBS is essential if the control is to be made in any detail below the overall total budget/balance

Four key financial variables used for the control:

1. Current Balance (e.g., of the Reserve or Budget) 2. Open Commitments3. Available to Commit4. New Commitment Request Amount (i.e., the Proposal)

All four variable amounts change through time as work progresses – many moving parts

The Spend Control Explained

Definition: Monitoring and controlling expenditures against a work commitment for an entire project or a subproject

A harmonized WBS is essential if the control is to be made in any detail below the overall total budget and work commitment scope of work detail

Three key financial variables used for the control:1. Commitment Open Amount2. Available to Spend3. Expenditure Amount being Processed

May be linked to Earned Value Management
