  9. Problem Solving 4 • How much does non training activity cost us? • assessment centres. • remove the cost of activity run by Personnel in other forces - more effective comparison

  10. Checks and Balances • Actual costs 2005/06 • Course numbers from training admin system • Apply resources and costs • Spare capacity ‘x’ section sky high!

  11. Checks and Balances • Course questionnaires but no activity for a range of related courses

  12. Checks and Balances • Check back to section’s ‘planner’ • ‘Close working relationship’ • Admin system circumnavigated • Outcome? • HR not updated with skills • training days under reported • Costing Process led to correction

  14. Pricing • Direct Costs include • Total staff cost • Pay, NI, Pension, Allowances, CRTP, SPP, Employers Liability Insurance • Significant Equipment and assets • Hired Services Particular care needed with staff costs

  15. Pricing • Opportunity costs • Significant asset covers use of firearms range etc • But does an IT room cost the same to run as a standard class?

  16. Pricing • Overhead Rate • Use percentage overhead from costing model • Adjust for premises

  17. The Colour of money • Increase the focus on money • Improve financial monitoring • Its not about ticking boxes but what you discover along the way

  18. The Colour of money • 2002/03 - overspent • 2003/04 - overspent • 2004/05 - overspent • 2005/06 - ‘planned positive variance’ • Outcome: Finance dept support for new projects
