Controlling is a logical addition to the -inancial #ostingsin the #ro't and Loss/ Controlling gi+es us an o+er+iewof all 'nancial postings to the di0erent cost o&jects/
These cost o&jects are1
Postings to cost centers
Postings to internal and production orders
Postings to Projects
Postings to Sales orders with items that are cost collectors
Postings to Sales orders with items that are not cost collectors

Controlling
Controlling provides you with information for managementdecision-making. It facilitates coordination, monitoring andoptimization of all processes in an organization. Thisinvolves recording both the consumption of productionfactors and the services provided by an organization.
As well as documenting actual events, the main task ofcontrolling is planning. ou can determine variances by
comparing actual data with plan data. These variancecalculations enable you to control business flows. Income
statements such as, contribution margin accounting, areused to control the cost efficiency of individual areas of anorganization, as well as the entire organization.

Cost Center
In business a cost centre is a division that adds tothe cost of an organisation, but only indirectly addsto its profit. Typical e!amples include research anddevelopment, marketing and customer service.
Companies may choose to classify business units as
cost centres, profit centres or investment centres.There are some significant advantages to classifyingsimple, straightforward divisions as cost centres,since cost is easy to measure. "owever, cost centrescreate incentives for managers to underfund their
units in order to benefit themselves, and thisunderfunding may result in adverse conse#uencesfor the company as a whole $for e!ample, reducedsales because of bad customer service e!periences%.

Cost Center
&ecause the cost centre has a negative impact on profit$at least on the surface% it is a likely target for rollbacksand layoffs when budgets are cut. 'perational decisions ina contact centre, for e!ample, are typically driven by costconsiderations. Investments in new e#uipment,technology and staff are often difficult to (ustify tomanagement because indirect profitability is hard totranslate to bottom-line figures.
&usiness metrics are sometimes employed to #uantify thebenefits of a cost centre and relate costs and benefits to
those of the organization as a whole. In a contact centre,for e!ample, metrics such as average handle time, servicelevel and cost per call are used in con(unction with othercalculations to (ustify current or improved funding.

#ro't Center
)rofit Center Accounting $*C )CA% lets you determine<profits and losses by profit center using either periodaccounting or the cost of sales approach. It also lets you< <analyze fi!ed capital and so called +statistical key<figures+ $number of employees, s#uare meters, and so
on% by profit center. Conse#uently, you can calculate allkey figures commonly used in cost accounting $return oninvestment, cash flow, sales per employee, and so on%.
A profit center is a management oriented organizationalunit used for internal controlling purposes. ividing yourcompany up into profit centers allows you to analyzeareas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility todecentralized units, thus treating them as +companieswithin the company+.

Kusiness area is an organi3ational unit which
corresponds to the speci'c &usiness segment orarea of responsi&ility/ %denti'cation of &usinessarea helps in segment reporting of a companyin its 'nancial statements/ Kusiness areas can&e identi'ed &ased on the products of the

Main distinguish factor is that distri&ution and assessment ispossi&le in pro't center &ut not in &usiness area/
ne more distinction is that Kusiness area need not &e attached toany organi3ation structure/ Kut pro't centres can &e created onlyunder the controlling area/ Kusiness area can &e across controllingarea/
