Is IT Cost Accounting Worth the Effort Involved?

IT cost accounting is often avoided or used sparingly as a key method for reducing costs or generating additional funding. In this session, representatives from two universities, Kansas and UCLA, will discuss recent cost-accounting projects undertaken at their institutions, as well as their objectives and the results achieved.

OUTCOMES: Understand the basic components of a cost-accounting model * Learn what type of information is generated from this model and how it can be used * Get real examples of how cost accounting information is used at two large universities to support decisions on IT matters
