Short-Term Actions

- This would likely require additional support resources, including Accounting Policy participation, to accompany Business Services and Operations teams during shop reviews.
- The objective would be to better understand local practices, identify inconsistencies, and provide real-time guidance on capitalization decisions.
Key focus areas to include:
Standardized review tools and reporting
- Supervisors rely on a variety of work management tools - some are QV reports, Business Services reports, and Operations reports, which can make reviews cumbersome and potentially create analysis paralysis.
- Evaluate whether reporting and dashboards can be streamlined to provide a smaller set of leading indicators that help supervisors more effectively review and manage time charging and capitalization performance.
Accounting Policy guidance and training
- Develop or refresh Accounting Policy playbooks and guidance documents. Translate accounting speak to easy-to-understand operations tasks
- Provide targeted training for line supervisors, shop personnel, and Business Services teams to reinforce expectations and improve consistency across operating areas.
Design standards review
- Conduct a joint Accounting Policy and Engineering review of standard design requirements.
- Ensure projects are being designed and executed using approved standard designs, while also considering capitalization implications early in the process.
Time charging process review
- Evaluate existing tools and processes related to time charging, particularly around Power On follow-up activities, which may present opportunities for improvement.
